This happens for me all the time with the Gutsy RC: screen freezes up *except* the mouse cursor, and the machine is still alive but I have to power-cycle it.

I have the same hardware as MikeMLP: T42, Mobility 9600 (M10). I'm running the stock Gutsy configuration, and free/oss ati/radeon driver, with all desktop effects enabled.

I experience the hang quite regularly with both the stock 2.6.22-14 kernel as well as my hand-built 2.6.23.1. I'm happy to run any tests or provide logs or whatever else is needed if it will help resolve this problem.
