In the last few days the bug appeared in a series of two or at max
three hangs after cold boot, and then the driver started to work like
always (I did some fiddling).
For example, yesterday I tried to replace the driver with the
1:6.9.0-1 version and thought to have isolated the problem until this
morning when, after 4/5 minutes from boot/login (GDM), the same
lock-up.
Today, after disabling GDM and launching the session from the console,
it kept working stable. I was thinking about faulty hardware cause I
didn't found bug reports under the Radeon driver and the strange
behaviour until I spotted this one for the ATI driver.

In my case it happens with a plain desktop, no 3D involved. I'm going
to build the driver from git following your instructions I've found at
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html and I'll report here.
Thanks for your support.
