I think your mentioning of the kernel module load time hinted me to a
solution.

I added "radeon" to my /etc/modules on Ubuntu 10.10 and since than it
has bee a week that this problem do not occur, so I think the problem is
solved.

In case you need further information/action from me please write email
with my email address in the 'cc' as I just quited this mailing list
subscription.
