You are running Xorg/Etch, right? We probably need to reassign to
another package.

Could you send the output of
    /usr/share/bug/xserver-xorg-core/script 3>&1
We need to know what hardware and software config you are running.

Is the X process consuming lots of CPU when the freeze occur?

If DRI is enabled, you could eventually try to disable it and tell us
whether it changes anything.
