Have you tried disabling the openGL screensavers? Just a guess, but in 
the past I remember having some problems with screen lockups with some 
openGL screensavers so I deselected them. Also had some issues with 
the screensaver power management of my monitor.

You didn't mention whether the screen lockups happened when you were 
logged in or logged out (with the login screen showing). I've had some 
different screen lockup issues with the login screen which I finally 
solved by adding a ServerFlags section to my xorg.conf file.
