Hi Dragonheat,

The logs you provided so far does not show any crashes even though the
xorg.log.old you attached looks suspiciously truncated.

Do you have access to two computers? If so, can you please install the ssh 
package so you can connect to your computer over the network when it hangs. 
That way you can login to the computer while it is still in the hung/crashed 
state and then you run this command:
apport-collect 363618
(if that command doesn't work just save xorg.log, xorg.log.old and also the 
output of "dmesg".. these contain the most important data)

Also, can you please install these debug symbol packages (this will improve the 
quality of backtraces in case we manage to record a log showing a crash):
sudo apt-get install libc6-dbg xserver-xorg-core-dbg libgl1-mesa-dri-dbg 
xserver-xorg-video-ati-dbg

Concerning your question about CPU/mem usage, it depends entirely on
what you're doing with the computer. Sometimes it's normal that X
consumes 100% CPU and hundreds of megs of memory, but when the machine
is idle CPU usage will typically go down to less than 1%. On my intrepid
box running GNOME, then X usually consumes about 40MB memory and almost
no CPU.

** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-video-ati
