In my case the 2.6.27-rc1 acts exactly the same as 2.6.35-22.35 - about 15 minutes of fluent job and then back to freezes once every 10 - 12 seconds. I also noticed some unusually intensive HDD activity - but i'm not sure it's related. I'll check it out. Also i'm downloading KDE to see if it would change anything. I'll post my tests' results in a few hours.

Yeah, in #19 i meant 2.6.37 too.
I tried KDE with kdm, KDE with gdm, Gnome with kdm, Gnome with gdm - all freezes.
HDD activity i reporten in #19 was not related to the problem.
I noticed that freezes are related to some cpu activity. When using gnome system monitor, i can see peaks to 100% when (just after) desktop freezes. I was unable to check which process causes them.
Also it is strange to me that each time i reboot, i have 10 minutes before first freeze.
Anyway - I give up until i get some kernel update or any clue on how to get Ubuntu working.

every 12 seconds.
So it apears that is ANOTHER RADEON BUG.

Partial walkaround this problem is to change video drivers in xorg.conf to vesa. It causes the freezes to get much shorter and almost unnoticable. However it didn;t change a thing with the drm crashing.

I started noticing this sometime after June, I think. Did we have akernel change around that time period?

It appeared for me under both Lucid and Maverick. I've also noticed that after I hit a website that made flash mad, the lag amplified until my system was unresponsive and I had to reboot.

Hi drakesoft,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

If I plug in another usb mouse, the new mouse will work for a while (random length of time) then will freeze. When I reboot, all goes back to normal, but the process repeats. I've tried both a wireless Logitech mouse as well as wired.

As someone who has suffered from two show-stopping trackpad bugs in a row,
the thought that a fix for this bug would be delayed due to bureaucratic
fumbling is depressing. Enough with the buggy trackpad implementation!
Please, for the good of linux, make it work.

I have this problem on ALL ubuntu distro (lx, xf, kde, gdm). Never once this happened on opensuse, slackware, gentoo or debian. This is A ubuntu code bug, not specific drivers or software related. This is why this bug is not fixed yet, and this is why it is NOT talked about or replied to in a "fixing bug" way.
That bug is there ever since my first try at 8.04 ubuntu. Not always the same bug, but basically input device related (keyboard and mouse). One was the mouse-wheel where it would suddenly start switching apps or windows when I wheel-scrolled a page. An other is when keyboard lags then drops a batch of repeated characters, very helpful when entering a passwrd in terminal (like thyssssssssssssssssssssssrui). Now it's the cursor that keeps disappearing when pause for .0025sec of the time.

ok I'm a little pissed-off by this. But I try to find a stable OS (one I can install software I choose, NOT force-fed into social networking as facebook, or any alike, INTO the OS ) (hey, ...maybe the bug is right inthere ;)
I try them all on either Vbox or hard-drive full install no dual boot (I keep a hard-drive just for that purpose and the OS will find its home there when I'm pleased with it;))

So why do I keep trying ubuntu some ask?
Because I what to be able to give it to grandma! Obvious someone like that won't want to mess with a slackware/gentoo install or an opensuse de-branding;)) (and she's a KDE girl;)

Keep-up the good work! This bug will be fix somehow;)

Peace

prefered OS: KDE based (and, as granma, I can't even pronounce gnome or knowm, sorry;)lolol

This affects me too. Using Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit, GNOME fallback session, on a Sony VAIO 2.2 GHz, 2 GB RAM. Seems to happen more frequently when CPU load is high, but also happens when no GUI apps besides the desktop session are running. I'm using a generic external USB mouse ("ValuMouse Optical, Model # K64381"). It doesn't seem to matter whether I plug it directly into the computer or whether it's going through a USB hub.

Commenting here because this NEVER happens with the built-in trackpad. If I didn't hate using a trackpad so much, I'd stop using the mouse entirely.

I see this as being a SERIOUS PROBLEM. Not only does it break the user's fundamental expectation of mouse responsiveness and expose really annoying underlying problems, but having the mouse suddenly stop functioning has really, really problematic consequences at certain times. For instance, when it happens while trying to drag a message from my Thunderbird in-box to a folder, if the mouse stops functioning while I'm dragging it past another folder name, Thunderbird happily assumes that I actually let go of the button over the other folder. Which, if not noticed, breaks my ability to manage my email effectively. Similar problems (desktop manager assumes I let up on the button when the mouse stops responding) apply to basically every application that uses dragging as part of its user interface.
