I've seen X lock-up from time to time, but I have an ati rage video chip, and
you probably have a radeon chip. Still, if the problem occurs at reasonably
regular intervals, you could try working at a console for extended periods to
see if the problem occurs without X running. Problem is, you'd have a
different workload etc, so that might not narrow things down all that much.
If it's really when you move it, as opposed to just a coincidence... do you
have any external memory or airport cards installed? They may be loose, and
disconnecting when it moves.
