As I understand it, the problem is localized to the R100 series of GPUs which includes the Radeon 7000/VE I have installed on my box. > I think this started over DRI support for the ancient 7000 Radeon. > However, I haven't seen any testing results posted.

I believe this is the bug I am experiencing: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5104 Also, having dug around some, I believe it has to do with the dynamic clocking patch but I'm not a C coder, don't have access to a serial console, etc. There are no messages in the logs -- just a hard freeze of the system. I'm not using any driver options. I have turned off MTRR, which is also buggy, in the Screen section. I tried setting SWCursor as suggested in another bug in the Free Desktop bugzilla but that didn't help. -s
