Ok. With that line commented, the pause disappears at boot time. I've tried to
start X with DRI _enabled_ and it crashes like the other times. Also, I've
tried with DRI _disabled_ and it doesn't crash. The same like the other times.
In both cases I've passed the option "radeonfb.default_dynclk=0" to the
kernel.
