I have uploaded an older version of mesa to my "old" PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/old/+packages . By testing this, we can find out if this is caused by a bug in mesa which is introduced after version 7.5.

Unfortunately, installing it is probably not as easy as just adding the PPA to /etc/apt/sources and do `sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade`, since the version in the PPA is older than then one in karmic and I didn't do any PPA magic to make it want to upgrade anyway. The easiest way I can think about is probably to download all the deb-files for your architecture (*i386.deb) to an empty folder and do a `dpkg -i -O *.deb` in that folder. That will install only the packages that already have an installed version on your system.

If Karmic freezes with this version, I can try to go all the way back to the Jaunty version.

PS: I don't have a Karmic installation (I only have Jaunty and Lucid) so I haven't had a chance to test that the packages even work.

Sidney, if you would like to help it is better if you file your own bug report. With many people having slightly different results in the same bug report it easily gets very confusing. Therefore we prefer one reporter per bug report for xorg-related bugs.
