What do you mean by "rebooted with xorg.conf disabled"? Just
rename/remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
I renamed xorg.conf to xorg.conf.donotuse, and rebooted.
When the machine came back up, a splash labeled
"autoconfiguration" displayed across the monitor, while
the screen resolution changed around rapidly. When I
logged in, my desktop was at a higher resolution than I
had seen previously, with the windows I had left open at
logout shrunk to about 2/3 of their former physical screen
coverage. Regardless of whether it fixes the problem of
the freezing system, the higher resolution is a real
improvement.
However, I woke up this morning, and the screen came to
life, just like before I dist-upgraded to lenny, so things
look promising on that front, too.

Neat! autoconfiguration really works! That's as opposed to it being
intended to work.
Autoconfiguration on my system does not work (v7.3-7), at the first
sight being related to the "kernel framebuffer". On all systems this
option is disabled but the XORG auto detection tries to activate it and
because of this it fails.
Cheers
