Comment 25 for bug 447892

I have an old Toshiba Satellite A10 which has been freezing in the manner described since installing Karmic. (It previously had Hardy on it.)

The relevant portion of the output of lshw reads:

 *-display:0
             description: VGA compatible controller

I've installed the xorg.conf from the message above and will see what happens.
