A similar thing happens to me with my VooDoo3 when it freezes during fullscreen 3D and one thing you can do to avoid rebooting is to run xinit or whatever in the remote session that you used to kill X and you should find that the X server starts up again on the main machine and you can use it as normal without rebooting. The only problem with this is that if you kill the remote sesson Xgoes down with it. You'll also find that if you exit the X session normally the frozen screen that you had before will miraculously(?) return.
