I still have the same problem here.
I'm running debian sid, with packages from experimental.
X freezes periodically, but it is usually possible to ssh into the box.
Killing or stopping gdm and X does turn the screen black, but
restarting gdm does not lead to anything. Restarting gdm (or kdm) a
second time hangs the system completely.
Also, I usually have to issue shutdown or reboot twice for it to take
effect.
Graphics card:

the OpenGL API -- DRI modules
libgl1-mesa-glx 7.5-3 A free implementation of

libglu1-mesa 7.5-3 The OpenGL utility library

The problem might have started roughly early August 2009, when I
upgraded the system (dist-upgrade). However, I was not around most of
July, so did not do any dist-upgrade then.
Any help is appreciated.
