This sounds like a problem with Xorg or the driver you are using.
I'm assigning the bug to the xorg package for now.
Please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging for what information would 
be useful to include.

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => xorg
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Description changed:

  I'm running Kubuntu 7.10.
  I've installed the latest Blender from the repository (2.44).
  After a few seconds of rotating the viewport (moving the mouse while the 
middle mouse button is down),
   my system freezes completely (hard reboot required).
  When I had it installed on Windows it worked fine.
  
  What logs/info should I attach?
+ 
+ My graphic card is an onboard intel gma950 (i945 chipset).
+ I'm using the intel driver (the default that was autodetected after Kubuntu 
installation).

+ Freeze occurs in Google Earth also. So it is probably related to openGL.
+ WORKAROUND: After adding DRI=false to xorg.conf the freezes stop.
