I had a similar problem with drivers 8.24 through 8.27. Roughly one in three
logouts, the screen would turn completely white. At that point,
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace crashed the computer. After commenting out in xorg.conf:
#Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
#Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
it seems to work fine. :-)
