I can confirm that I get the same behaviour on my laptop: an Acer Aspire
1681 WLMi with an ATI Radeon 9700 w/ 64MB.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 8.04, the screen would freeze at some point
after X starts -- occasionally at login screen or once desktop appears
after logging-in.  If I booted into my previous kernel,
2.6.22-14-generic, then I would experience no problems and can use my
laptop without freezes, but booting into 2.6.24-16-generic would cause a
freeze.  So for the time being I am booting into an older kernel from
the previous release to work around the problem.

Reading this thread, I tried booting into 2.6.24-16-generic with a USB
mouse plugged in and I am able to use X for the first time with this new
kernel.  Could this be a problem with the way the new kernel is
compiled?  Should this be reported to the kernel maintainer of
2.6.24-16-generic?
