Colin Keenan, 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 xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-nouveau” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Every once in a while, usually when I've been reading news and blogs for a couple of hours, the display freezes up and doesn't respond to any mouse clicking. Doing ctrl-alt-backspace works as well as ctrl- alt-f1. I've noticed that if the problem happens a lot in a short period of time, eventually update-notifier will tell me updates are available. When I tried ctrl-alt-f1 and ran tops, that's when I discovered compiz was using 100% cpu so that was what was causing the display to not respond. I don't know many commands, but killall compiz did allow me to continue reading the blog, but of course all window decoration was missing and I had no way to launch other applications through the gui. After doing ctrl-alt-backspace to restore my desktop, Apport reported an update-notifier crash. Since this problem happens at times I'm not doing anything but reading what's already in the browser and trying to scroll down to read more, I think the problem is caused by something done on a schedule. Since update-notifier always seems to come up eventually on reboot or ctrl- alt-backspace, it would seem like update-notifier is somehow causing compiz to use 100% cpu at times.
