I've also tried acpi=off and it fixes the freezing problem... But just because, at least on my system, it disables 3D acceleration completely.

I don't use desktop effects for testing, but Google Earth. If 3D is enabled, I load Google Earth and X freezes in the first minute. With acpi=off kernel parameter, GE tells me that it's using software renderer, thus no freeze, although it's painfully slow ;)

There is nothing relevant in dmesg or the X log when it freezes... Is there anything we can do to help developers track this issue?
