Note that there are two lockups/hangs/crashes, both with output to the log. The first one happens sporadically and causes gdm to restart. Isn't that most probably a crash? The second one, when the new X server starts, may well be a lockup as you say. Wouldn't it be better to look at the first one to find the cause here? The first clue in the log is: "Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds". I haven't had the problem again (after ~10 hours of use) since I downgraded to 2.1.1-4.

I can't force the crash to happen exactly when I want, but it happens quite regularly about every 2 hours. Cheers, Øystein
