I have been experiencing the same symptoms (hard lock up/freeze) on the same graphics hardware in a live session with Ubuntu Karmic-- I've tried Alpha 5, Alpha 6, and Beta. I would love to see this issue resolved, but I'm not sure how I can help when the live session freezes right as the desktop becomes visible.
