(Get the code!)
This bug is marked as fixed, however with Ubuntu Karmic Alpha 5, the 3 times I logged in, the screen froze, the first and second times about 2 minutes after login, and the third time about ten minutes after login. When this happens I have to power off the PC.
I was doing different things when the screen froze, so I do not think it was the particular action that caused the freeze. I don't know if the freeze is related to this bug. As someone wrote in the bug description, there could be different bugs that manifest in the same way (freezing).
Here is my lspci output:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
With respect to Ubuntu 9.04 that I currently use, things are far from perfect. Watching video streaming is difficult as the image freezes often, scrolling on Firefox is slow, and most annoying of all is that once or twice a day the gnome-panel takes up 50% of CPU time, so the panel freezes. I can often unfreeze it by killing the gnome-panel process. Note however that the gnome panel freezing is less serious than the screen freezing that I experience with Karmic Alpha 5.
