I recently upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and experienced the same freezing
with the same video hardware.  However, I switched the window manager to
metacity, and then continued with research on compiz.  When I would run
compiz --replace, there were a multitude of errors listed because it
could not find /usr/lib/libdecorations.so.0.  When I looked at the files
installed by the package libdecorations0 on my machine, it showed that
/usr/lib/libdecorations.so.0 was not there.  I found a different ubuntu
karmic distribution package for libdecorations0 and installed it
manually.  It did have the file and installed it correctly.  I then re-
ran compiz --replace and it is working fine, no freeze (its only been a
few hours though).

In doing research about Karmic, there was mention of adding a kernel
option i915.modeset=1, so i set that too.  However, I don't know if that
has anything to do with it though.
