I came to this bug report, because I also experience systems freezes /
crashes. Never happened on this laptop with neither Hardy nor Intrepid,
but with Jaunty it has happened three times already. Just now it
happened with Wifi disabled in NM and with the hardware button in OFF.
(Which doesnt mean that it can't be WIFI related, of course).

I have examined dmesg logs, but there isn't anything obvious to me.

There are definite problems with the ATI Open Source driver and I am
using the same video card as the bug reporter (X200m). The Live-CD would
only run in Safe Graphics Mode, from where I had to install. Then I had
to log in to Recovery Mode and modify Xorg.conf (change driver option
from MESA to ati). After that the system booted, but without the Gnome
panels and with a dead desktop (no right clicking etc.). Then via ALT+F2
I called up gnome-system-settings and went to display and activated the
screen, which was greyed out in the dialog window, by clicking on it.
After another reboot the the desktop loaded OK and I could, finally, set
the right screen resolution. Quite a task to get this thing up and
running. Also, if I log out of the sessionm, the screen just blinks and
goes black for a few seconds, then logs me back in.
