I have uploaded an older version of mesa to my "old" PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/old/+packages . By testing this,
we can find out if this is caused by a bug in mesa which is introduced
after version 7.5.

Unfortunately, installing it is probably not as easy as just adding the
PPA to /etc/apt/sources and do `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get
upgrade`, since the version in the PPA is older than then one in karmic
and I didn't do any PPA magic to make it want to upgrade anyway. The
easiest way I can think about is probably to download all the deb-files
for your architecture (*i386.deb) to an empty folder and do a `dpkg -i
-O *.deb` in that folder. That will install only the packages that
already have an installed version on your system.

If Karmic freezes with this version, I can try to go all the way back to
the Jaunty version.

PS: I don't have a Karmic installation (I only have Jaunty and Lucid) so
I haven't had a chance to test that the packages even work.

Sidney, if you would like to help it is better if you file your own bug
report. With many people having slightly different results in the same
bug report it easily gets very confusing. Therefore we prefer one
reporter per bug report for xorg-related bugs.
