Last crash Xorg.log

Hi,

I'm a OpenSuse 10.3 x86 user, owner of an aging Asus Radeon 9550 with a
fan-cooler (RV350 As).

**************
The linux box :
**************

OSS 10.3
Xorg 7.2 (1.3)
Xv 2.2
kernel 2.6.22.19-0.2-default
CPU : AMD Sempron x86 2800+
Ram : 1,5 Gio

************
The facts :
************


I'm experiencing weird crashes with X. Since a few weeks, it's impossible
to have any DVD played more than 10 minutes : the display freezes but the
sound goes on for a few seconds.
Sometimes I can make a clean reboot when the keyboard is still responding
(AltSysRq), somtimes there's nothing else to do then than hardware reset....

Actually I've encountered this crash on some non-xinelib player (like
vlc or mplayer) & sometimes with *.avi files. So it's seems pretty general
 to me but the surprising point is that I didn't encounter this problem
before ??!

I'm' sure it's a genuine software issue anyway for some other reason : I
can always finish to see the exact same DVD on my out-of-age Debian
Sarge (kernel 2.4.2x, Xfree86 4.3.0.1 15 august2003, Xv 2.2 & Kaffeine
0.6). Same box, same card, same DVD player...

So I can rule out hardware stuff (checked everything in my box from
thermal paste between CPU & fan, to dust, wires & so on). I can rule
out DVD specific issue too : it's not only my Magnum PI collection but
Porco Rosso, Moulin Rouge & some others too !

Today, after I manually corrected my Xorg.conf to x2 AGP acceleration
(x8 earlier), a nastier crash occured but X started again so I could
relog instantly.
I managed to save the trace which is attached.

DRI acceleration was already quite unstable with this CPU & this
X.org version 

Could it be related with the wrong way my kernel do handle ACPI
(I had to pass an acpi=off at boot in order to get my sATA disk
correctly detected !?).
