Running on following hardware using the radeon driver:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M66-P [Mobility Radeon X1700]

I noticed that the freezes aren't random, mostly they are happening when "minor" windows are being opened, e.g. the progress bar when installing a new package...can somebody confirm this behavior?

Disabling desktop-effects solves the problem for me.

The kernel image jtholmes suggested has no effect on the problem here.

Did not try the X.org 1.5.2 packages. Think I'll give the mainline kernel a shot in the next days...
