Public bug reported:

Using ubuntu 10.10, intel i7 quad core, Radeon HD 3450.  Xorg freezes
pretty regularly.  Keyboard and mouse completely stop responding.  The
screen gets corrupted with weird color patterns (I'll attach a
screenshot).

Xorg uses 100% CPU.  Only a kill -9 will kill the process.

I can't remember when it started.  First it would do it once a week or
so.  Then it got gradually more frequent.  Now it does it several times
a day.  I have noticed it to be more frequent when I'm using Wine or
Crossover Wine, but this particular time I didn't have Wine open.  I was
using Chrome, Remmina, Terminal, and File Browser.

Most recently I disabled the desktop effects (I guess that disables
compiz) thinking the problem would go away, but it hasn't.

The only thing I can do with the system at this point is a hard power
off.
