Similar problems here. Different kernels (2.4.18, 2.4.19, 2.5.4x),
Radeon 8500, radeon driver from DRI CVS. The first time the switch into
graphics mode always works. But restarting or resetting the X server
(even turning it off and trying to rerun it hours later) or switching to
text mode and switching back often kills the whole machine (very
randomly, ~50% of the time). The video mode switch itself succeeds and I
can see the old date in the frame buffer, but then the machine freezes
and it doesn't get redrawn. The machine doesn't respond to anything,
network is dead, the harddisk stops doing anything, completely dead. And
it does the same thing (most of the time) when switching resolution in X
(ctrl-alt-+/- oder starting a game in full screen mode).

I always thought, this is was my fault. I've never had any luck with
compiling XFree myself. My versions are always totally buggy (especially
when compiling the whole tree). But compiling only the DRI part always
worked, but then things got worse (freezes and so). But at the moment,
even the binary snapshots of the radeon/r200 driver are showing the same
symptoms (slightly better, but the system still crashes at about 25% of
the X server restarts).

Any ideas? Problem with the kernel? Problem with a buggy XFree module
lying around? Problem with me? Another problem?
