[Bug 19406] Blank Screen, X freeze on my notebook ( Ati Mobility 9600 with radeon driver), ONLY with X.Org 7.4

[Pedro R]

Hi Alex

I removed the DRI option and I confirm that only AGPMode = 1 works. All the others crash. I have 3D acceleration and all works fine (until now). I'll keep testing it, if anything goes wrong, i'll let you know.

It seems that this is a new "bug" to Xorg 7.3.1 up, and until now only with Mobility Radeon 9600. 

Just a few more questions: in the DRI website (http://dri.freedesktop.org) it says that the DRI Mode for the radeon driver should be 0660. Mine is 0666. Is this a problem?

And quoting the DRI website "As of September 2007, 6.7.194 driver may give better results with EXA output, instead of XAA. This will change DRI rendering performance also.". I have 6.9.0. Should i change the AccelMethod to EXA?

Thanks for everything, i really appreciate it.
