I have not seen this hang since I stopped using the direct rendering (DRI) of the ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 in this ThinkPad T60. I switched video drivers (now using the X.Org "radeon" driver) because the new external monitor I am using (ViewSonic VG2439m) would glitch, loose sync and scamble text)
