Ok. I've tried to figure out what triggers it - it doesn't always happen.
It does seem to happen when restarting the X server after having played
the commercial tuxracer (I'm setting up a box for my 6-year-old, so for
once I'm not playing tuxracer just to test 3D - I actually want to have it
work ;)
I can sometimes restart several times, sometimes not. And I also noticed
another strange thing - sometimes tuxracer works absolutely beautifully
(no visual artifacts at all), and then I quit and restart, and it seems to
fall back to sw rendering for some things (one frame per every two
seconds) _and_ there are some obvious visual artifacts on the pink lady
penguin when you select her as the racer.
At least the last time I locked the machine up, it happened after the
artifacts started showing. I have this feeling that it happens more often
when I play windowed (as opposed to full-screen), and switch between the
two, but that might just be my imagination.
But yeah, this looks different from the radeon lockup. For one thing, it
somtimes locks up at X restart after it has painted the desktop and is
bringing up the window manager. Sometimes it locks with a black screen.
And that tuxracer sw-fallback behaviour never happened with the radeon.
