Weird. This is my setup also, and I have had no problems since
installing M5.
Try:
Option "NoAccel"
in section "Device" of your XF86Config. Also try commenting out:
Load "dri"
in the "Module" section.
This will ensure that the X server is not accessing hardware directly.
Normally this should not be a problem but a buggy video driver can cause
problems. On my machine, having 2D acceleration enabled caused
interrupts from other devices to be lost when dragging a window.
Also, is the machine pingable after it locks up?
