This sounds more like a gpu crash, or a deadlock in the xserver.  So, I
don't think that these two cases are the same.  Since you can ssh in,
have a look at top while it's hung and see what state the xorg process
is in.  If it is in drmlk2, it's locked.  If that looks ok, then it's
probably a gpu crash, if you set sysctl hw.dri.0.debug=3D1 you will
probably see a lot of radeon_cp_idle and timeout calls.
