I have the same problem with my wife's laptop (mentioned here in
another thread) and it has the 200M chipset as well. Can this be a
problem with the video driver? I had F9 working on it fine with the
same version of the kernel it's running now with no problems. I also
found that if I did not log in it did not lock up. Sometimes it works
for 10 minutes, sometimes for 25 but that's about the longest I've had
it work without locking up. I also was able to SSH into the machine
but I could not do a gdm-restart or init 3 or anything like that. I
could, however, reboot it.

If you figure anything out I'd love to know what you did!

Thanks,
Richard
