But to clarify: does plain intrepid work for you? I think there are at
least two different deadlockers in jaunty. I know this because I have a
machine with an ATI and with the intel centrino chipset. It deadlocked a
lot. Upgrading to the karmic kernel fixed this. OTOH, I have a machine
with an intel video card. Downgrading the video driver fixed that. So
are you sure you are experiencing the same bug?
