I had similar problem with HP NC8000 (fedora 13 2.6.34.7-61.fc13.i686
#1 SMP). I found the desktop got frozen when firefox is playing some
video stuff.
My problem was a bit different in that firefox is not involved. So no
guarantee. Please refer to the above bug #528312. The bug report is
long and there are multiple fixes proposed.
could you give a detailed steps on how you did this? thank
