I may have the same problem with acer travelmate 4001lmi (mobile radeon 9700 / 64mb).
I disabled compiz, but as soon as a access the screensaver applet or any other 3d apliccation (glxinfo, glxgears...) the system freezes.

This started during 08.04 alpha (even the live / install-cd was affected). It was fixed in the stable version but after updating the system, it reoccurred.
Fedora9 shows the same symptoms.
