It also happens with the radeon driver as well....

Whether or not the drivers support or don't support 3D, it shouldn't
cause X to hang.  It takes out both the mouse movement and the keyboard
with it.  I can still see disk activity, so I can only assume that my
direct interface to the laptop is useless when this happens.  It would
be nice if I could at least change to another VT and bag X....
