I have the same random freeze problem with the current gutsy. It happens with desktop effects enabled within 1/2 hour of use. I am using the default "ati" open source driver. This is on an X300 Mobility Radeon. Disabling dri and glx effectively disables desktop effects and "fixes" the problem. But if I want to use compiz, the open source driver is a no go for me, which is pretty bad since fglrx has its own problems (it won't make this laptop suspend). So running compiz is not feasible on gutsy with any driver on this Dell Inspiron 6000 + X300 Mobility.
