Is it actually a lockup (looks like what you say above, X just doesn't
move anymore, apart from the mouse maybe, and you need a reboot) or a
crash (another X session restarts automatically) ?

In both cases, we need the log of the crashed/failed session. After a
reboot, it should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old with some backtrace or
lockup details at the end.

You might want to try adding
    Option "AccelMethod" "XAA"
to the Device section of your xorg.conf and see if it helps.
