Reply to self:
I solved the Touchpad issue, but the screen freezing still remains.
I tried a fresh configuration, and the sreen froze on shutdown. (The
Computer still rebooted fine, I just got the background image till it
rebooted.)

I disabled DRI, and as a result the computer crashed on shutdown, with
the beforementioned grey blocks on the otherwise black screen.
But unlike before, I am using Xorg 7.3 now.
What the hell is going on?
A clue, anyone?
