2.7.1 won't be sent out for jaunty but it's already in karmic so reporting this bug would be very useful.

The most efficient way of fixing these freeze bugs is to capture batch buffer dumps as you did above. After you have captured such a batch buffer dump, please open a _new_ bug for each freeze / captured dump using the terminal command "ubuntu-bug xorg" (then we also get xorg.log and all those files attached which is essential because then we can forward this information to upstream saying that this freeze happen on that chipset etc).

If you can repro freezes on the latest driver (2.7.1) that's even better because then the developers know right away that they are dealing with a non-fixed freeze issue. We've had several reports of -intel freezes lately and unfortunately we cannot rule out the possibility that there is several freeze bugs at work simultaneously.

In case someone missed it, here is the step by step instructions for capturing a batch buffer dump for analyzing a freeze:
