Interesting, I have the same (card/chip) and same problem:

(--) PCI:*(2:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)] rev 0, Mem _at_ 0xd0000000/27, 0xdfff0000/16, I/O _at_ 0xe800/8, BIOS _at_ 0xdffc0000/17
(--) PCI: (2:0:1) ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE] rev 0, Mem _at_ 0xdffe0000/16

in my -STABLE box which is also plagued by these spurious freezes.
They always happen when logging out or quitting the window manager.
Yesterday the mouse pointer movd but very slowly.  The Xorg process
using 100% on one CPU and unkillable.  In the past, it's locked up
the machine entirely, but this time everything else was working.
I still had to power cycle it to reboot though.

I'll try to get a ktrace next time it happens.
