Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu 10.04  My system will completely freeze except for the mouse
under certain situations.  It will freeze when i start virtual box Just
the program, not the actual virtual machine) , but not every time.  if i
open and close it enough times, it will freeze without opening the
program.  If it does open OK I can click on settings in vbox and it will
freeze there also.  Opening system->preferences-> screensaver  and
trying to choose different screensavers will invoke the freeze also.
Here is the weird part.  If i don't move the mouse to another screen,
after about 3 or 4 minutes, vbox or the screensaver will finally show
up.  But if i move the mouse pointer to another screen (3 monitors)
while the screen is frozen, the mouse flickers between all three screens
and the machine 'hardlocks' and have to use the power button and reboot.
I can still ping the machine while it is frozen.  I have reinstalled 4
times and it has happed with all 4 installs.  This type of freeze never
happed on all previous versions of Ubuntu since 8.04, same hardware.
This is a show stopping bug for me, and have been using ubuntu since
8.04.  It is hard enough getting it to work with the fake raid and 2 vid
cards i have without this crash to deal with also.
