Its my first time submitting a bug report so i hope i'm not leaving out any required details.
I'm running ubuntu 9.04, installed it on a formatted drive. In 8.10 i never had any freezes with the flgrx drivers. But since im using 9.04 i have occasional freezes when im using simple programs and switching desktops. Only a hard reboot fixes it. Unfortunately the flgrx drivers that worked perfectly under 8.10 do not support my x1950 in jaunty. Therefore i am using the default radeon drivers. If i launch a 3d game like Nexuiz it will always freeze within 10-15 seconds. Nothing responds anymore and i have to reset the computer. I tried reinstalling 9.04 but the problem occured again. I havent had a single freeze in 8.10 or windows for years. Its only ubuntu 9.04 giving me a hard time. I didnt change anything to the graphical settings btw. I will check back here soon if there are requests to post any additional information. 

This bug is very critical to me. I lost quite a bit of work when a
freeze occured on the desktop. Not being able to use 3d applications
like Nexuiz is quite hard too. I'm quite sure the bug is not related to
this game since i tried the same version on 8.10 with no problems at
all.

kind regards,
Bram
