Thanks for all the feedback everyone, and sorry for the delayed
response (I've been out of town).
Tod Merley: I've made a note of all your suggestions, and will try to
keep a LiveCD around and follow them up the next time the bug occurs.
I'll try to get a PS/2 mouse as well if I have a chance. I have run
memtest for half an hour or so on the machine before, and found
nothing. I'll try running it overnight.
Golfer: I might try booting an earlier kernel also.
Based on bug no.55570, which is a duplicate of my bug, it seems that
switching to the vesa driver instead of ati by editing xorg.conf might
fix my problem. Unfortunately when I switched to vesa my monitor
stopped working ('signal out of range'). Anyone got any help on how I
could switch to the vesa driver successfully?
I think we can see now that multiple people are experiencing this
problem, or at least very similar problems, but my bug and its
duplicate remain 'untriaged' in launchpad. I don't seem to be able to
change the status of the bug with my launchpad account. Someone who
can should confirm it.
Thanks again for the helpful advice
Hi again Sean Hammond:
Concerning the "signal out of range" a thought:
1. Copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf from a working install.
2. Compair with what you have when "signal out of range" occurs (less
and vi very useful here).
3. Look specifically at the horizontal and vertical sync rates - if
the "signal out of range" xorg.conf is different make it the same and
try the results.
4. Check out the other differences.
Good Hunting!
Tod

I can see i am not alone, i could even say fortunaly cause i thought
it could be my T30 IBM, i have been running CentOS on it for months,
with no problems at all i switched to Ubuntu because i like the view
:) and how it manage the Wireless, (so keep on CentOS on my desktop
with no wireless).
I also had those freeze problem but i could say that even it is random
i could see that if i am starting XP on my VMware Server, and as soon
as i get the first screen of the XP booting if go in that moment to
"full screen" it freeze!, if i wait till the XP is completely up, i
can go to "full Screen" with no problems, but i got freeze in some
other ramdomic moments, I also have an ATI Radeon on my laptop.
Do you think we will get a patch for this problem? or I should forget
about Ubuntu and go back to CentOS?
thanks
Guillermo.
