It also happens with the radeon driver as well....
Whether or not the drivers support or don't support 3D, it shouldn't
cause X to hang. It takes out both the mouse movement and the keyboard
with it. I can still see disk activity, so I can only assume that my
direct interface to the laptop is useless when this happens. It would
be nice if I could at least change to another VT and bag X....
Given the fact that it takes out the keyboard and the mouse and all
activity stops onscreen, I remotely ssh from another box to reboot the
machine.
fyi,
