I have suffered from this same issue with my IBM R51 Laptop. The solution I am going with for now is to remove "Compiz" completely. I would rather have a functioning machine over one with fancy graphics, but doesn't boot. So far so good:
Command I used to remove Compiz: "sudo apt-get remove --purge compiz*" -- Gnome Freezes -- Ubuntu 9.10 -- big time freezes. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461163 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
