I have restored my original configuration, which was:

xorg-server 1.6.3
intel video 2.8.0
kernel 2.6.30-r4
xf86-input-keyboard 1.3.2
xf86-input-mouse 1.4.0

With this configuration, if I do startx and run firefox, the hang happens quickly.

I have tried using the "NoAccel" option, but the driver apparently doesn't support this option (based on a messages in the Xorg.log).

Then I have tried setting "DRI" to "no", and the hang still happened. Note that in a previous test, disabling "DRI" prevented the problem. In that test, the xorg-server was 1.5.3 and the intel driver was 2.7.1. But with the latest versions, even setting "DRI" to "no" doesn't prevent the problem.

Finally, I have compiled the vesa driver (version 2.2.1). I am using this driver now and after a half hour, there are no hangs...
