Thank you for providing the requested information. Would it be possible to test a newer version of the intel driver? Here's a link to the PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only

Ubuntu seems to be behaving itself today, after I installed the latest
Firefox version (3.5.6). I'm going to save this email and see what
happens over the next couple of days. If I get another freeze I'll put
this new version on.

I'll keep you posted.

Thank you for providing the requested information. Would it be possible to test a newer version of the intel driver? Here's a link to the PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only

** Package changed: ubuntu => xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- Firefox appears to crash Ubuntu
+ [i915gm] Firefox appears to crash Ubuntu

Installed the newer driver, but am still seeing hangs. Doesn't seem to
take any very specific activity to do it. Can happen while typing email
in Evolution, or when I resize a pane in Rhythmbox. Saw an article in
Computerworld suggesting reverting the driver to an earlier version. Is
this a possibility? I like everything else about my karmic release.

Thank you for the updates. Since you have attached the necessary log files and tried the latest version of the driver without success, I am going to mark this bug confirmed.

Page-fault-of-doom fixed ages ago.
