Bryce-

I have tested with the LiveCD of Jaunty from the link above (alpha-5) as requested and the freeze does not happen with Jaunty.

So, I have concluded and tested the following on my Lenovo Thinkpad R400:

Hardy 8.04.2 (LTS) - Fails
Ibex 8.10 - OK
Jaunty alpha-5 - OK

While there is currently a "workaround" for Hardy, I am hoping the intel driver will be corrected and pushed into the Hardy packages. Also I read the text of 233896 and yes it looks similar but there was no definitive solution to 233896. In that instance desktop effects were disabled and that apparently resolved the issue for the reporter. In my case turning off desktop effects did not stop the problem.

I now know that the quick way to create the "freeze" is to go to System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector, go to the Video tab and select Plugin: X Window System (X11/XShm/Vx) then push Test. The freeze is immediate.

Thanks again for all help.
