Hi disabuse

first you failed to mention which Linux distribution you are using ... which may affect driver info ..etc..

second
Try this modified Xorg file

I am not sure about the intel driver exactly
try reading about it in this link

It is usually a case of trial and error ...

Good Luck

my apology using Debian Lenny i popped into the xorg IRC channel and someone there suggested

Option "ExaNoComposite"

Currently trying that, but the problem is I dont know how to trigger the problem, so its a waiting game at the moment to see if it locks up
