hmm, I've occasionally been expericancing what sounds like a similar 
issue.

the screen locks, it doesn't respond to the keyboard (but caps lock still 
works), frequently the mouse pointer still moves, but you can't click on 
anything.

it ususally happens to me a few min after starting firefox (with 10-15 
windows holding a couple hundred tabs), so it could also be a firefox bug 
if it can capture the input and not release it.

I've experianced this on my T61 laptop, and my work machine (Radeon X1300 
series)

I'm currently running ubuntu 10.10 which is 2.6.35-25, so if it is the 
same problem, it wasn't introduced between 2.6.36 and 2.6.37.

like the OP of the bug report, this is not something that happens 
frequently, but I don't do much that stresses the video, so starting all 
these tabs is about as hard as I drive it.
