ATI X600 on 2.6.15
I have machine lockups on 2.6.15 with gentoo bits and lastest x11-org bits. A simple startx with three xterms doesn't even render the fonts correctly. Eventually the machine wedges and can't be pinged. Switching the xorg.conf driver from radeon to vesa works and creates a reasonable environment. This seems to have manifested itself since 2.6.15-rc1.
The laptop is a Compaq NX9600 with maximum memory and a large disk.
Should anyone care for further data captured from /proc, config, logs and etc., I'll be glad to forward them along. I'd also be willing to debug and/or test whatever suggestions might be made.
thanks,
bob

Is DRI enabled ? If yes, try disabling it. Recent kernels have the r300 enable DRM, thus X will automatically enable use of CCE acceleration even for simple 2D, but that isn't very stable on those cards yet.

From xorg.conf:
# This loads the DRI module
# Load "dri"
So DRI is disabled.

Best is to move the kernel module out of the way
