You have been subscribed to a public bug: Using top, I can see compiz use 99-100% of CPU power. Using ctrl+alt+f1 and killing compiz using killall -9 on tty1 allow me to switch back to the frozen desktop for a brief time. Because thereafter compiz will restart itself and must be stopped again.
I have tried to update my ATI-Driver using proprietary and open source, same result, compiz still keep freezing.
