Public bug reported:

Short description:
xserver freeze. Total. Mouse is movable, but anything with keyboard (change to 
VT1, Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-SysRq-B, or anything) is dead. Sound 
is in a short (0.5-1 sec) loop. CPU is on max (I hear the fan on max).
Absolutely sure way to reproduce any time is to run Steam Counter strike online 
under wine. Within 3 minutes lockup.

Long desc:
Around a year ago, I had similiar lockups with compiz, but that time 
Alt-SysRq-B worked always , some workarounds worked. After the move to hardy, 
no more lockups any kind. 
Until this weekend. I instaled (in clean .wine enviroment) Steam Counter strike 
pack. Local game works (both CS 1.6 and CS:Condition Zero). But after logging 
onto an online server, freeze every time. (not immediately, but after around 
20sec-3minutes). Nonsteam version of CS never had any problem. (I'm running 
game with compiz turned off).
Here on launchpad are very very similiar bugs (a thought they are the same) 
"Fixed in intrepid".
So sunday I upgraded.
Now I still have CounterStrike lockups, But now I have also a lower performance 
of compiz and already had 2 compiz lockups. (plus many other desktop related 
problems. So "very succesfull" upgrade :( )

I tryed:
* kernels - 2.6.26 (hardy last); 2.6.27-7 generic and server; 2.6.27-8 generic 
and server (I installed also rt kernel, but I need to try it.)
* xorg.conf - clean (dpkg-reconfigure xserver (no framebuffer)); my old from 
hardy; this suggestion 
http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/388928-using-opengl-google-earth-hardlocks-x-intel-x3100.html#post1836366
 . (I'm yet to try XAA, or some other tweaks, but I don't intend to try dri 
false, I want dri, even I know it will work).

Research:
could be this bug 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/177518
But that one is marked fixed in intrepid long ago. So I assume I have another 
bug.
I have no chages in in collors, or pattern on screen (in some other bugs 
mentioned).
One time I found infinite loop in logs mentioned here 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/279192 . (but in current 
logs not. That's the reason for filling new bug report.)
Bugs that are filled with 965 seem to have "the little things" different, but 
maybe its not so much HW related, and it was just another bug.
A have read about similiar bug also on non intel cards. Could by mesa or kernel 
related.

Hardware:
Fujitsu siemens T4210
Intel graphics 945GM/GMS

Debug:
* "Untrap signals" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing 
* rebooted in single user mode
* emptyed /var/logs
* normal reboot
* echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
* lockup with countestrike
* boot in single user mode
* copied /var/log

I have no Idea how to strace or gbd a hardlocked pc, so not included.

Included:
whole /var/log (a lot of informations)
lspci -vvnn
xorg.conf


If you need any info, debug, testing, I'm availiable.

I will continue to search for any sollution or workaround.

PS: just because I test crashes with counterstrike, it doesn't mean it
schould go to wishlist or low priority. I haven't yet tryed vmware,
graphic apps or intensive video play. But two compiz lockups say there
will be a problem.
