I've got a freezing compaq presario when using the trident driver.
The power button is then the only option.
When using the vesa driver, there's no freezing.
Must add though that I had this problem with every 5.x, and not 4.8.
It seems to be a xfree server thing for this machine.
Have you tried the vesa driver?
