sorry, I could neither find the place where to report this bug, nor understand whether to report this bug at all. Therefore I ask it here:
Since I received my X220 three month ago I use ubuntu 11.04 with gnome. Up to a few times per week I get an xorg freeze (checked the (non-)symptoms here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze). Answering the important questions on the same site: Nothing particular to report, except that I was using firefox and one or more terminal windows.
When ssh into the frozen computer, it shows a GPU hung. The output of dmesg:
...
[ 4241.536364] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung

Xorg.0.log shows:
...
[ 4251.051] (EE) intel(0): Detected a hung GPU, disabling acceleration.

I think I will just disable compiz, but I wanted to make sure that this problem is known and maybe there is already a simple solution for it.
