SO that is GDM specific then.
_What_ is GDM specific? xorg.conf.d/ content is global X, regardless of DE.
What you did previously was probably as most troubleshooters do, to disable
bling only in the user environment via a personal setting, leaving it running
at the GDM level. With composite disabled globally there could be an
important functional difference from only disabling it personally.

Yeah, I set it to force fallback mode. Still froze
though.
"Still": meaning even with 70-composite.conf enabled?
Does it happen only in Factory (what this list is for), only in 12.2 (what
you filed the bug against), or in both?
There seems to be a fair amount of overlap between the underpinnings of Gnome
and XFCE. Have you considered trying XFCE to see if it helps? LXDE? KDE?
Other DEs? Live media, both openSUSE and other? Memtest? Maybe your hardware
has developed a problem.
I've had 12.2, 3.4.11-2.16 & xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.12.3-1.25.7.i586 booted
running FF 17 on 945GM since I first saw your thread starter, with no signs
of any problems.

I'm running stock 12.2 on this, and have
gone through considerable
effort according to the limits of my knowledge to debug this. Numerous
similar reports have been filed against this hardware and driver
combination, with only one being identical... which (go figure) I lost
the URL to. I have tried 3 kernels so far (all installed parallel) 3.4,
3.6, 3.7. 3.6 was supposed to have introduced pertinent bug fixes, with
3.7 said to have some regressions. 3.7 has been the best behaved so far.
Yes, it still froze even after disabling compositing as you suggested. I
came here with the bug rather than elsewhere (I had gone to forums, over
a week of googling, and IRC looking for answers) because there simply
hasn't been any response to the bug report. Seeing as this problem is
present even with the newer kernel
