Freezes occur *very* often in Edgy. Of course this might be caused by

Is there anything special required for a user to do a manual backport of

Denes: it is entirely possible that Qt excercises different parts of the
driver than Gtk+ does, and therefore the chance of crashes may be
different.
It is also true that the crashes are very irregular: sometimes I get
three crashes in one day, sometimes I get two consecutive crash-free
weeks,

hopefully the fix will be in the new patches?
No freeze with Kubuntu 6.06.

Yes, my system seems to be completely stable as well as long as I don't

I have the same issue: freezing on an IBM Thinkpad X31 with a ATI Radeon
card using the radeon driver. It appears to happen when I use an
external monitor.
Alos noticed something that might be of interest. My fileserver has been
dead for the last couple of days and I didn't get a single freeze.
While there may be some connection to NFS mounts, I doubt that it's the
driving factor here because I've had these crashes quite often but I've
never used an NFS mount on this system.
That said, sometimes I can go for days without a crash, while other
times the crashes occur several times a day -
