Hook for catching X.org freezes

,----[ Quote ]
| X.org freezes are perhaps one of the most 
| frustrating bugs in Ubuntu. These were 
| such a pain during Hardy that special 
| debugging procedures were developed to 
| enable users to gather the data upstream 
| needed. But these procedures are pretty 
| technically involved to do, and had to be 
| done while ssh'd into the frozen system - 
| not always an easy task!

| now provides some AMD representation where he
