Multiple people (including me) are seeing problems like this. It's very
hard to know whether we are seeing the same bug. And I didn't see much
help coming from upstream about this recently. The only workaround that
helped some people was to add
Option "FramebufferCompression" "false"
to subsection Device. Apart from that, you can't do much but wait (or
try to find an easy way to reproduce the lockup and report it on the
upstream bugzilla...)
