Just like for bug 24789, Pierre reports that these freezes stop when the kernel parameter acpi=off is used. He also did the following tests:

-2.4 intel driver from the x-retro repository (xserver-xorg-video-intel-2.4_2.4.1-1ubuntu11~ppa1_i386.deb) => OK works, good perf
-acpi=off boot option => OK works but poors performances (i don't know why)
-nomodeset boot option => KO freezes quickly after X startup
-"options i915 modeset=0" in /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf => KO freezes quickly after X startup (normal i think it's the same conf as previous)
-option "DRI" "Off" in xorg.conf => KO freezes quickly after X startup
-Option "PM" "Off" in xorg.conf => KO freezes quickly after X startup
-Option "NoMTRR" in xorg.conf => KO freezes quickly after X startup
