Then your best bet is reporting the problem at BTS.
With open drivers and KMS, Xorg should work "out-of-the-box" without the
needing of creating or tweaking the "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file so if you
are experiencing such errors (hard locks) it is worth to open a bug
report.

Because "Xorg" is getting updates and changes very quickly.
