Xorg 100% lockup drm wait idle failed status

[Michael D. Setzer II]

Occasionally, have Xorg lock up. I can vnc into the machine or sshd into it 
and see that Xorg is running at 100%. Running a shutdown from the vnc or 
sshd brings the machine back up.

There are a number of lines in the message file with this error.

setzco kernel: [22223.942405] [drm] wait idle failed status : 0xA0003030 
0x00000003

The on-board video is a radeon hd 3300

Have found a number of hits on this, but none that seem to be a solution.
