I can say that I have the same situation on my GM45: I used to have both
the kinds of freeze (with/without a live mouse pointer). I'm actually
using the jaunty-proposed package (2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9.2) with the personal
addition of the Albert's patch. I can say that the system is more stable
without any freeze of type A (with live mouse pointer). Sometime I have
freeze of type B: I'm able to reboot with SysReq sequences.
