Nope, this doesn't help.

The following versions all exhibit the same problem:
1:6.7.198~git20080117.6bd510a2-1
1:6.7.198~git20080109.10e7636c-1
1:6.7.198~git20080102.30cab1db-1
1:6.7.198~git20080101.f65374f5-1
I then tried version 1:6.7.198~git20071221.be7f8fd3-1, but this one has
the "old" bug #457563 again, where the freeze already occurs on startup,
and trying "AGPMode" "4" or "BusType" "PCI" then still causes a freeze
on startup. So I cannot use this version... I assume earlier versions
have the same bug?
