Bug Description
Binary package hint: kwin
Im on a Asus U3s using the released kubuntu 9.04
Every few minutes the system completely hangs, crashes, eventually comes back to life (mouse moves), heavy drawing errors, sometimes disables compositing and returns to 'normal', sometimes reacts on the acpi power button and shuts down and sometimes just completely freezes.
Ok this isn't a very specific bug report, but as good as I can get. If you guys can tell me what logfiles might help I will be happy to post them.
The notebook has an Intel GMA and a GeForce. The problems occur with both graphics cards. For the Geforce I was using the closed nvidia drivers (latest available from jockey).
I was able to make a screenshot:

I installed the new Intel GMA drivers from this repo:

now kde works fine, but kwin desktop effects are broken / won't enable, see screenshot.
