Right, running glxgears or some simple cheesy app is not enough.
You must POUND the hell out of the driver with an intensive 3D
application, such as Quake III or something else intensive. It
may take anywhere from a few seconds to 30-45 minutes for the
crash to occur, so this isn't the type of problem that someone
can configure the driver to use 1600x1200, fire it up for 10
seconds, run glxgears and say "hmm, well it works for me".
