matteo sisti sette, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

The whole system got frozen; only the mouse cursor moved (smoothly), though its animation (which at that moment was a circular waiting animatiion) got frozen. The system wouldn't respond to any click nor keystroke, not even ctrl+alt+f1. There was nothing to do but shut down the computer by holding the power button. All unsaved data lost. Since 12.04 or so, Ubuntu has become more unreliable and unstable than Windows.
