I have the same problem on a IBM Thinkpad T43 (Model 2668Y3U) with an ATI Radeon Mobility X300 with a fresh install of Gutsy. I had the same problem on Feisty.

I thought it was a GPU temperature issue but this not the case: I reached 67 Celsius during glxgears but I couldn't reproduce the problem. I experienced freezes when CPU and GPU temperatures were under 50 Celsius.

Disabling desktop effects resolves the problem... I'm, sadly, thinking that enabling compiz by default wasn't a brilliant idea...

I've attached my lspci -vn output.
