I can confirm a problem with xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19 included in Fedora (from
the official repository) locking up my system. In my case this is a Toshiba
Satellite A215 laptop (full hardware profile:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_f3889c13-ed5b-44b9-a6ab-72db21a4aaa5,
will attach lspci -vvv as well, though).

The issues I've been experiencing are a bit different, as I explained in my bug
report to the Fedora Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462157#c4), this is usually
triggered when I am viewing images (it doesn't actually matter the program).
When this condition happens, I'm able to SSH into the computer, but everything
is very, very slow! There I don't seem to be able to see anything in the system
log, dmesg or top, other than Xorg eating away quite a lot of CPU, as do other
processes (hald-addon-storage and top itself). At one point when this problem
happened, I was able to see the Xorg.0.log for that particular session and saw
the file flooded with the messages:

[mi] mieqEneque: out-of-order valuator event: dropping.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probaly stuck in an infinite loop.


System:

Fedora 9 x86_64 fully updated.

Kernel: 2.6.26.3-29.fc9 (from Fedora updates)

driver: xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-19 (from Fedora updates)

However I have also tried with the very same results with GIT drivers from 29
august 2008, will try to use latest git (though for some reason I suspect there
won't be much change) and with latest release 6.9.0 drivers with the same
results.

XServer: 1.5.2 (from Fedora updates)
