I'm having the same issue with my Dell Latitude D830 laptop. Same Intel graphics chipset. It freezes almost on a daily basis, and always when i have been away from my laptop for a little while ( even 15 mins or so ). It doesn't freeze every time however. The only thing i can see after a freeze is my desktop background. Logging in through SSH still works, which shows X on 99-100%. Killing the X process doesnt work, ps shows it as X [defunct], but i can still only see my desktop background.

Luka, are you using compiz? Is your desktop locked whenever it freezes? Can you still unlock your desktop before the actual freeze kicks in?

Anyone have any hints about what this could be?

Maybe i can install dbgsym packages and try to get a backtrace? Is this feasible if it doesnt actually crash?
