I ran a couple of hours without problems after having disabled the DVI output
with xrandr, but I'm not sure if it really fixed the problem or if it was just
luck, because I can't reliably trigger it.

When I tried to modify the xorg.conf file to disable the DVI output X couldn't
even start: when I added the Option "Ignore" in any "Monitor" section (DVI,
VGA, S-video) it failed reporting "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable
configuration." just after having processed that part of the file. 
Maybe there's something wrong in my new xorg.conf, attached; I'd be grateful if
someone could point me the error.
