Does it also lock up when the text console blanks?
The X lockups were what had been plaguing me for the past two weeks.
I thought it was the new Radeon (7500), but it seems[1] to have been my
Asus CUSL2-C's[2] broken APM implementation (Quite recently Alan Cox
mentioned this problem with Asus' BIOS).
Out of fear, I do not compile in ACPI[3].
I have since recompiled with APM as a module and life seems much more
stable. (I issue "modprobe apm" at shutdown so the box actually turns
off :)
Perhaps your BIOS has similar "issues"?

[1] No lockup in 3 days. Knock bits.
[2] Intel 815ep, 700MHz Coppermine PIII not overclocked.
RH6.2 frankensteined to 7.2 (mostly)
kernel 2.4.15 (with Viro's inode patch) (yes, yes, I'm slow)
(RH's gcc-2.96-98)
XFree86 4.2.0 from their binary tarballs.
[3] One of the side-effects of ACPI support is disabling APM if
an ACPI capable board is found. This, I suspect, is why reports
of CUSL2 hangs are rare...
