@Manoj,

My system does not "freeze" as such, but it becomes quickly very very
slow until it finally freezes if I keep running "heavy" applications
(heavy = mplayer in full screen...). My video card is:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
(as already mentioned, the problem got even worse with the last driver
versions, e.g. 2:2.6.3-0ubuntu9 or currently:
2:2.7.99.901+git20090615.3da549f5-0ubuntu0sarvatt~jaunty)

When the problem occurs (perceptibly at least it, when the system slows
down), the first symptoms appear in the dmesg as:
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 15000 nsec
CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns to 22500 nsec

at this point, everything is so slow I have to hard reboot.

I'll try some of the options suggested in the WiKi.
