[plug] Graphics intrepid!

[Lucas van Staden]

Hi,

I would agree with Adam, sound unlikely the issue is caused by the 
graphics (or compiz),
but hey, anything is possible....

I would have a look to see what is going on with the network drivers,
see on google if there are any issues related to your network hardware 
and Intrepid.

I had to dump my wireless card for a new one (had a rt61 based one). 
Worked fine in Hardy, but had massive packet failure/corruption/system 
kernel panics in Intrepid.

Also, you could eliminate the compiz stuff completely by uninstalling 
the compiz packages.
It would be simple enough to put them back once you sure they are not to 
blame.
Simple process of elimination ;)
