I flipped on EXA last night, and it seems to have solved the issue (that or
some Ubuntu bug pushes).  Anyway, here's my relevant information:

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (fully updated)

uname -r: 2.6.24-16-generic

dpkg -l | grep xserver-xorg-video-ati: 
ii  xserver-xorg-video-ati  1:6.8.0-1  X.Org X server -- ATI display driver

Xserver version: 1.4.0.90

I'm running an ATI FireGL v3200 (M24 GL 3154 PCIE) on a Thinkpad T43p.  The
relevant part of my xorg.conf is:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc M24GL [Mobility FireGL V3200]"
        Driver          "radeon"
        VendorName  "IBM ThinkPad"
        Option      "DynamicClocks" "on"
        Option          "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
        Option          "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
        Option          "AccelMethod" "EXA"     
        Option          "RenderAccel" "true"
        Option      "EnablePageFlip" "true"
        Option      "ColorTiling" "on"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

The only thing I've changed myself is that I added AccelMethod EXA yesterday,
and its hte first time I've gone more than 24 hours without Compiz causing a
hardlock.

Hope that helps...
