It doesn't appear that a kernel upgrade to 2.6.30 solves this issue - at least not for some of us. My own experience and that of some others suggests that the apparent randomness of the freezes can create the belief that the problem is solved in the short term, when it is actually not. I am running the .30 kernel and it is freezing to black as much as ever.
A couple of people have reported some success by (a). rolling back to an earlier xorg-ati driver or (b). recompiling the version of X for 8.10 to work on Jaunty.
