It seems the patches to force Radeon cards into PCI-mode (or force it via radeon.agpmode=-1) are no definitive solution. My G4 and G5 Macs hold out longer running X but sooner or later a hard lock is unavoidable. Tested this on a recent software stack: 4.8.1-kernel, xorg- server-1.18.4, xf86-video-ati-7.7.1 and mesa-12.0.3.
