I started comparing packages on my Hardy workstation (ATI X600, randomly freezing) and my Fedora 8 ThinkPad (Mobility 9000, no freezing), and the only difference I could find was in Compiz. The Hardy machine is running Compiz 0.7.4 and the ThinkPad 0.6.2. Both are using the 6.8.0-1 -ati drivers. I didn't have a chance to attempt to roll back the Compiz packages on the Hardy machine and won't have another chance until at least Monday. I also have no idea how many dependency problems will pop up in trying to do so. If anyone is bored over the weekend and has a current Hardy install, it might be worth trying to roll back to Compiz 0.6.2 to see if the latest 0.7.4 version is the culprit for the freeze. I still haven't seen a freeze on the Fedora 8 ThinkPad and it's been almost a month of 8+ hour daily use with Compiz enabled. And the most obvious difference is in the Compiz packages.
