So it sounds like something wrong with the r200 driver, the radeon
specific mesa parts, or the radeon specific drm for this model. I have
yet to try disabling one cpu in OF, as many r200 systems (both mac and
pc) were single processor perhaps it has issues. The problem is
obviously model specific, with my luck it's the only model I have :). I
foolishly have WITNESS off, so I may enable that and check for stuff
like LORs.

I might be able to test a quad g5 with the x1900, assuming the stars
align and it's functional and the liquid cooler hasn't given up yet.
