Marco, the main point of downgrading is not to find a "better" version
of mesa, but to try to identify when in the development cycle the
problems were introduced. So I wouldn't worry about the Blender
behaviour -- we know that a lot of bug in the Jaunty version of mesa
that were affecting blender has been fixed in the Karmic version. The
freeze is a bit more worrying, but if there is a very noticeable
difference in how often the system freezes with mesa 7.5, we may still
be able to find the point where it went from "almost good" to "bad" with
respect to the freezes. What we want is to be able to tell the upstream
developers that when they changed this or that, the frequent freezes
appeared. Usually, identifying that is half the work of resolving the
bug.

There is another confirmation at bug 450853 that downgrading to mesa 7.5
helps. The next step is to try and do some bisecting to find the bad
commit. I will come back to that.
