I believe I see both of these conditions on the Intel dual-core Atom
N330 motherboard.

I have a monitor with both DVI and VGA inputs.  The board in question
uses the VGA input.  Fairly frequently, when I switch from DVI use back
to VGA use, the screensaver is active. But the system is frozen.
Pressing the CAPS LOCK key does not light the caps-lock light on the
keyboard.  The mouse does not work.  At first, I thought USB was dead,
but I cannot ssh to the box and a ping after that results in the report
the system id down.  A front-panel reset is all that revives the system.
This is not new with 10.04, but seems very frequent with 10.04 now.

A second observation of a different scenario is that at times I seem to
be unable to use the keyboard, nor can I use the mouse "inside an
application window", but I can use the mouse to launch new applications.
If I select the System Monitor, for example, it will launch, but I
cannot select a specific process.  However, I beleive that when I used a
right-click, things started working again (memory foggy - it was late).

Most, but not all, of my lockups involve Thunderbird email being active,
but not all.  I also had VirtualBox installed, until I read this thread
moments ago.  Also, on a probably-unrelated sidenote, I use a ReadyNAS
NAS unit.  At some point, once of my systems, possibly this one, started
waking the ReadyNAS every few minutes.  I don't know if the nfs driver
is doing something strange on this host, but that was not the normal
ReadyNAS behavior on a system that was sitting idle.
