3) What you expected to happen

Use normaly my computer.

4) What happened instead

The screen display freeze and the computer stops responding to all keyboard input. It is possible to move the cursor with the mouse, but clicking does not do anything. The Num Lock does not make the respective kerboard LED go on or off.
It can log in with ssh.

# What frequency does it occur? Just once? Hourly? Daily?

In one to ten minute after the start of the computer.

I've resolved it by patching the ubuntu kernel source with this : https://svn.pardus.org.tr/pardus/playground/fatih/2009/kernel/files/drm/intel/0001-agp-intel-Fix-the-pre-9xx-chipset-flush.patch
The other solution was to use the Xorg vesa driver.
