I've been wanting to report this for a long time but never came around to it.

With a self-built trunk just after the PCI GART merge it works for me until
the first 2D operation. I then get a lot of

[drm:r128_lock_take] *ERROR* 1 holds heavyweight lock

and only the mouse pointer moves (no surprise ;) . It's possible that this is
related to the fact that I have to use gcc 3.0 to build kernel and DRI so
others please test and report.

I used to have the same problem on the PCI GART branch at the beginning, it
went away at some point but I don't remember what fixed it. :(
