Hi Wolfgang,

I've got several more things to try.

First, though, please attach your Xorg.0.log file.  This is required for
all Xorg bug reports and has a ton of useful info needed in doing
further troubleshooting.

Second, you mention that things worked properly in Gutsy, which is a
*very* strong clue.  It means that some change between the Gutsy -intel
and Hardy introduced the problem.  So the next step is to narrow down on
when that change happened.  Since I imagine you probably don't want to
manually compile video drivers, I've pre-built a whole series of them
for you to test:

  http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/bisect/

This is a pretty new thing I put together recently, and hasn't been
thoroughly tested, so if you have questions or find things work weird,
please let me know and I'll investigate.

I would recommend starting by testing the r866ae887 .deb and verify the
issue still exists there, and then test rff5c9436 and verify it is
missing there.  If that's the case, then start bisecting - pick a
version halfway between Gutsy and Hardy and see how that works; if it
works, then pick one half way between it and Hardy, otherwise pick one
half way between it and Gutsy.  Repeat until you have bracketed the
versions where the problem first started.

Third, it might also be useful to capture a backtrace from one of the
lockups.  See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingXorg for directions on
doing this.  Typically you'd ssh into the machine and connect gdb to it
and get a 'backtrace full'.  Since this is a lockup, then try killing
the server and get another backtrace.  Unfortunately from what I've seen
from others with this lockup, the backtraces don't get much useful info,
but it might help in determining if it's the same issue as what others
are seeing.

Thanks, and good luck.
