if it's fixed in hardy, it might be a combination of newer X *and* newer ATI driver.
keep in mind that xorg is newer in hardy.

for gutsy, i think the simplest solution is just to use the feisty ATI driver. it completely stopped the lockups for me. you just install the feisty ATI driver, *no* other dependency.

just check
