I'm left with nothing in my logs for clues, but I came to this conclusion after trying to make it freeze for some time with diferent apps, and deciding that it was GL related. Oh, and if you really want X 4.2 - deb http://people.debian.org/~branden/ sid/$(ARCH)/ Have it running on one computer without a snag, but I'm waiting to move over the one that's actually having a problem, because it's a little too important to fry just now.
