So far I have not had any freezes. and you are right this is installed. ic libgl1-mesa-swx11 7.4-0ubuntu2~bug359392~1 I thought about removing it and just updating, but have not done so. perhaps I should and see if freezes start. however I am also unable to run the repro.sh perhaps i need to re-run SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz and that will allow the script to run but at this point I know the script will freeze my system and freeze it right away. (not fun)
