I resolved the lockup problem on my laptop (Thinkpad T30 w/ATI Radeon
Mobility 7500) by modifying my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Around the lines that look like this:
============
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 LW
[Radeon Mobility 9000]"
        Driver          "ati"
============

Insert this before "EndSection":
============
        Option "RenderAccel" "0"
============

After restarting the computer, I have had no more crashes.
