@Evan: Below I will try to supply additional information, I hope it's useful.

[from the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting]

*Detailed description of problem -- described above, if more details needed let me know

*Get a full backtrace (X/Backtracing) -- as I am using Hardy this is slightly complicated and I did not have time to do it yet.

*List any versions you tried that did not have this issue -- none.

*Steps to reproduce -- described above, if more details needed let me know

*How complete is the X failure?
+ Does ctrl+alt+f1 take you to a console? - no
+ Does ctrl+alt+backspace restart X? - no
+ Does mouse pointer still move? - yes
+ Does the keyboard LED come on when hitting the CAPSLOCK key? - no
+ Can you ssh into the system from another computer? - yes

*/var/log/Xorg.0.log - see attached, I assume I am including the right file, just a regular Xorg log which does not contain traces of the lockup.

*/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old - see above

*~/.xsession-errors -> I will try to get these when the next lockup occurs however, as I mentioned the "EQ Overflow" type of lockup appears more often then the "Error in I830WaitLpRing". Therefore I might not even be able to reproduce the latter.
