I used the proprietary kernel drivers for a longish period, and then moved to the nouveau drivers, for past, say, 12/18 months. Compositing (as in compiz and similar options) had not worked till last upgrade. Almost everything else I wanted worked - most graphics intensive work I have tried was childsplay and similar kids' games. This is mostly a browsing, text editing and occassional VCD/DVD watching (small snippets only) machine. Apps like glxgears have worked - but last time i tried - just for entertaining the kids - was 3 months back. Hmmm ... I moved to kde because that new version of GNOME insisted on 3D acceleration, and could not persuade the machine to use 3D acceleration after 3 months of struggle. Any way, I downgraded the version of x-x-video-nouveau, -core and some other allied apps to testing. See below. $ dpkg -l xserver-xorg* |grep ii ii xserver-xorg 1:7.6+12 X.Org X server ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.11.3.901-2 Xorg X server - core server ii xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.6.0-2+b2 X.Org X server -- evdev input driver ii xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1:1.6.0-3+b1 X.Org X server -- keyboard input driver ii xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:0.0.16+git20111201+b5534a1-1 X.Org X server -- Nouveau display driver Now, I have no freezes for past more than one hour. So, this is definitely a issue with teh nouveau driver; and probably, turnign off compositing may help. Will go back to nouveau version from experimental with that line in environment.
