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-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
