Is that exactly every two hours? :)

By texture upload changes do you mean my radeon_cp_dispatch_texture()
fix? If so, are you sure that makes the difference? I merely fixed it
not to leave out parts of big textures. I'd rather expect the
COMMIT_RING() change to make a difference.

Because it's SIGIO driven.

I do wonder if the register writes in RADEONSetCursorPosition() could
interfere with the CP to cause FIFO overflows. Does anyone have an idea
how to determine whether writes to certain registers go through the
FIFO? I asked ATI devrel about this but didn't get a reply. :( The only
indication that these might not is that I'd expect it to cause problems
much more frequently if they did.

Anyway, Alan, can you try if disabling Silken mouse or even using SW
cursor (make sure you have the fix for crashes with SW cursor and DRI
though :) makes a difference?

Classical chip crash or lockup. :\
