I have been having the freezes problem, at least every 30 minutes,

I tried all the following suggestions.

1. Setting to none the visual effects
2. Removing compiz
3. Updating the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to several recommendations,

Doing all of the above, reduced the problem to one freeze per day.

I found that updating the kernel to 2.6.29.6 fixed my problem, that eventually allowed me to:

1. Restored /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the default settings
2. Reinstall compiz
3. Set visual effects to normal.

I have been running this for 3 days, and no freeze yet.
