Just a quick update. I am still running Jaunty at the present time. I'm pretty busy at the current moment and haven't had time to upgrade to Karmic. I have been working through the AGP modes in xorg.conf. I am up to 4 (tried 1 & 2, but not 8). This has been more stable for me, which is to say that it has been failing just as often but not as badly. At settings of 1 and 2 the whole machine would be unusable until a restart. I could ssh in (very slowly) and issue the reboot command, but nothing else helped. With a setting of four I get the same kind of lockups, but occasionally can Ctrl+Alt+F1 my way out and restart gdm. If that doesn't work (often the keyboard is completely unresponsive in this case, ie no numlock response) I have been pretty reliably been able to ssh in. A restart of gdm has been all that I have required to get back up and running at AGP mode 4.
This suggests to me that 4 may be the right mode, but that an underlying problem still exists with the driver. I'll have a go at Karmic when I get a chance.
