Same issue here - Acer Aspire 5002WLMi notebook with (really crappy) SiS
video adapter.  If I let the laptop idle for 30 minutes then Xorg starts
eating CPU cycles and maxes out the CPU.  If left maxed more then 15
minutes, the only recovery is to kill the X.org process from another
terminal (X.org will take down the whole system if I try anything else).
This problem did not exist with Drapper or Edgy, and I've been studying
this phenomenon since upgrading to Feisty.  As long as the computer is
in use it fine however (thankfully so).  The problem also does not exist
on my desktop.  I've been through all the system logs (no error messages
to trace), so I then disabled all screen savers, and disabled all device
drivers I could in xorg.conf - nothing seems to work outside leaving the
notebook in a terminal with a sudo'd top so that I can kill xorg.

Xorg process freezes, uses 100% of CPU. Can be killed by remote terminal.
