Title:
  [i945 GMA950] X freezes about once a week

Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm running jaunty on my Sony Vaio TZ190N.

  Three times in the last two weeks I have experienced a total GUI hang.
  The screen becomes totally frozen, although the mouse will still move.
  The keyboard does not respond to ctrl+alt+2 (for example) to switch to
  a console.

  There is nothing of note in /var/log/messages or dmesg or .xsession-
  errors or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

  It is still possible to ssh into the machine while it is in this
  state.  Killing compiz and gnome-related processes does nothing to the
  state of the screen.  Killing X with -9 as root caused the screen to
  be corrupted, and the computer to entirely freeze.  It was no longer
  pingable after that.

  After a hard reset, the computer was usable again.
