Oh.  Heheh, no.  2.7.1 has long been on this machine, to no avail nor
help.

** Summary changed:

- [i965 X3100] (needs intel 2.7.1) X freezes/crashes randomly, only mouse pointer still functional
+ [i965 X3100] X freezes randomly, only mouse pointer still functional

** Description changed:

- More or less as the title says, I am experiencing an issue with the
- recent Jaunty alpha of Ubuntu.  Both under Alpha 5 and Alpha 6, my
- system (specs below) will randomly freeze up, with the mouse only
- working and the rest of the system not respond.  I must use the REISUB
- trick to reboot, and cannot switch to a text terminal.
+ More or less as the title says, I am experiencing an issue with Jaunty.
+ Under all releases since 3 Apr, my system (specs below) will randomly

+ (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) nor the new one (Magic SysRq+K).
  
  My computer is an HP dv6654us with an Intel GMA X3100 (GM965 chipset)
- running Ubuntu Jaunty, fully updated as of 5 Apr (including the most
- recent kernel update).  The OS is in a dual boot with Windows 7 x32,
- however, this issue has also occurred (many times, I might add) while
- running a LiveCD.
+ running Ubuntu Jaunty, fully updated.  The OS is in a dual boot with
+ Windows 7 x64, however, this issue has also occurred (many times, I
+ might add) while running a LiveCD.  The system has proposed repositories
+ enabled (to no help).  It has also had Xorg 2.7.1 from the Xorg-updates
+ PPA (to no help) and Xorg Git from the Xorg-edgers PPA (to no help as of
+ 15 May).
  
  No hardware has changed since the last time I installed Ubuntu, or when
  I previously had an Intrepid install in the same OS configuration.
  
- Further investigation shows that this may be a duplicate of bug 327844,
- as it is just an Xorg freeze, however, this issue occurs whether or not
- Compiz is running.  In fact, the timing is more or less random.
+ Further investigation shows that this may be a duplicate of bug 359392,
+ but I'll keep this open so as to assauge the guys running that bug.
