Moving this over to tthe video driver package.  Possibly a conflict with
Compiz?

** Description changed:

- This is my problem --  I can't boot in Gnome proper -- must use failsafe
- ..  Just did an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 from 9.04 ... upgrade went ok..
- then within 30 seconds in Gnome.. it freezes... freezes to the point
- where I can't even move the mouse, type anything..  must do hard reboot.
+ Due to the large number of other people posting to this bug report, the
+ information provided by the original reporter "The Founder" has been
+ summarized below for ease of reading.
  
- Now Gnome failsafe works fine,  I installed KDE to see if that works..
- no problem...  just Gnome.
+ === Description ===
+ Ubuntu 9.10
  
- I can't even see what the problem is because the computer locks up to
- the point where a hard reboot is needed.
+ On boot, the computer reaches the login screen and allows you to enter
+ your username and password. Then within 1-15 seconds after you see the
+ desktop the machine freezes.
  
+ "freezes" by definition means the machine is completely 100% non-
+ responsive. The mouse will not move. The keyboard will not respond.
+ 
+ After a hard shut down (IE: unplug the machine from the UPS) you can
+ reach the login screen again after a reboot, at this point if you select
+ fail-safe the machine runs as expected... but only in fail-safe move.
+ 
+ KDE and X run fine. This bug is specific to Gnome Standard.
+ 
+ === Hardware ===
  It's a Compaq Presario - Celeron D
  Intel 950 Video Card
  1.5 GB ram
  
- I cannot provide you with any more information regarding it because
- honestly the computer locks up to the point where I can't reach terminal
- or click on anything to find out what is wrong.
- 
- Now I am not a big fan of having to use Gnome Failsafe...   I can
- provide you any information you need when the computer is in Gnome
- failsafe.. but I cannot report squat when it locks up in Gnome
- 
- Worth Nothing,  this machine ran Ubuntu 9.04 without fail or errors...

+ === Possible Workaround ===
+ Another user with similar hardware and freeze has reported that it is the latest driver that is causing the issue, and has rolled back to a previous version with success.
+ 
+ === Possible Cause ===
+ Possibly a conflict with Compiz and Intel video drivers?
