I have uploaded a newer version of mesa to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gomyhr/+archive/old/+packages). Whether this freezes or not will provide a good starting point for a git-bisect in order to find a bad commit.

There is a tutorial for bisecting mesa at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/BisectingMesa and a more detailed account at http://tuxpool.blogspot.com/2009/12/bisecting-mesa-bug-446632.html . Both web pages have ATI chipsets, so instead of r100, r200 and radeon drivers, i915 is probably the right driver for 945G chipsets.

It would also be useful if those that are affected by this bug could test Lucid to verify that the bug stil exist there (that is where it can potentially be fixed). With Lucid, we would also appreciate a batchbuffer dump. There are instructions for how to get that at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze .
