I'm not one to post multiple replies in the same day, but I believe I've found a VERY easy workaround to this.
I added the Ubuntu-X repository for Karmic, and did a dist-upgrade. I have been using version 2.9.0 of the Intel driver (and supporting Mesa update) for the past few hours... not a single freeze (I usually see the freeze with the Intel driver a minute or two after login). For reference, the PPA is here: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ Machine stats: Dell Dimension 3000 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) ...this is really working well, so far. -- [i865] karmic: X11 Freezes when UXA is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433541 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
