There are currently problems with DRI for the i810 driver:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=359328
You can see if direct rendering is working with
glxinfo | grep direct
When you have logged into the locked-up computer you can check
/var/log/Xorg.0.log for further clues about what goes wrong.
As far as restarting gdm goes, try to "pkill -9 X" first, that should at
least save you the trouble of rebooting.
