Once the X server is stuck using 99% of CPU, could you try attaching a
GDB with something like:
*gdb* -p $(*pidof* *X*)

I have gdb connected now. I'm afraid my experience with gdb is rather
limited. In any case, I have a backtrace, unfortunately without any line
numbers:
(gdb) backtrace
#0 0x00002b9f1ab62fcd in X86EMU_exec () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
#1 0x00002b9f1ab527f5 in xf86ExecX86int10 () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
#2 0x00002b9f1ab5355c in xf86ExtendedInitInt10 () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libint10.so
#3 0x00002b9f1aa2e213 in ATIPreInit () from /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.so
#4 0x000000000045f72c in InitOutput ()
#5 0x0000000000430d8f in main ()
Which is considerably shorter than I expected. I'm not sure if that's any
help.
Let me know if you want me to type more commands into gdb. I'll leave it
connected for the moment, as I'm sitting at a different computer at the
moment and sshing in.

Software suppliers are trying to make their software packages more
'user-friendly'.... Their best approach, so far, has been to take all
the old brochures, and stamp the words, 'user-friendly' on the cover.
