Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Running the Karmic beta release in a live session, my screen freezes entirely (no mouse movement, no keyboard input) about a minute after the desktop appears if desktop effects are enabled. With desktop effects disabled, there is no problem.

I highly suspect that the bug is the same one described at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/400934 ; however that report has been marked invalid due to lack of information. I have obtained the requested information in that thread, including dmesg and Xorg.0.log after the crash, and am posting them here. Note that dmesg and Xorg.0.log didn't seem to have changed after the crash, so I'm not sure how helpful they'll actually be in diagnosing the problem.

I used an ssh session to pull the logs from the machine after the crash. The system running the live session was perfectly responsive in my ssh session, but X remained frozen.

Please let me know if I can provide any other information to help get this fixed.
