What video driver are you using? There is a separate type of freeze that can happen with the nvidia driver in which eveything locks up except the mouse. That can be cured by using the nv driver, or I have read that a 2.6.11 kernel fixes it, but I've not tried that.

I have an ATI video card, and I am running the ATI supplied drivers. But I was having problems anyway before I upgraded to the ATI supplied drivers. - Valur
