Glad to be able to help :-)
I can see from your changes - and also realized it myself - that it's a kernel bug rather than an X bug. I also checked Xorg.0.log.old but it had last been touched at 18:03 so I figured it would be of any use. I'll attach it here anyways.

For your other questions:

1) Haven't tested that. Will do.
2+3) Neither does anything.
4) Haven't tried that yet but sometimes I have been able to reboot with Alt+SysRq+s followed by Alt+SysRq+b.
5) Is that some Magic SysReq combo?

I'll download mainline soonish. Is that the kernel that will be used in later updates?
