Gero, i965 graphics card and screen messed up (rather than just frozen) suggests bug 120834, not this bug. I have edited the description to make the difference clearer.

DRI is on by default; to turn it off (which avoids both these bugs, but may drastically reduce performance) add
         Option "DRI" "false"
to the graphics controller Device section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Note also that X starts a new log file on every reboot, so for crash bugs the log file you need is Xorg.0.log.old, not Xorg.0.log. (This bug doesn't log anything, but 120834 logs Error in I830WaitLpRing(), timeout for 2 seconds)
