I tried this driver aswell, it still locked up. I've replaced the card
with an nvidia now which behaves almost as the radeon did a year ago; I
can start X once, when starting it for a second time it freezes.
For now, I will have to make do with that, I need the machine for
regular use.
All of these problems sure makes me miss the Amiga, where the hardware
was known and worked good as long as it didn't have defects in the
hardware itself. Whether you used the system libs or banged the
hardware directly, there were simply not that many configurations to
consider.
