OK. more playing... More lockups.

First I tried the initr300 program posted earlier... I get lots of RD errors 
from S1, and then just after saying S2, my screen is turned off (No signal & 
into sleep mode) and it's poweroff time.

Had a theory of maybe merged xinerama or  non-rectangular support is causing a 
problem with DRI... So...

I also tried DRI with only one screen defined in xorg.conf. Commented out all 
the side by side framebuffer bits & pieces, the second screen etc. And 
started X with DRI. It loaded DRI for the first head & then tried to load it 
again for the second. And that failed so it ditched DRI... BUt started 
A(lbeit with no accel). Very strange.. Don't think I've seen that before 
(Attachement of log below).

Then I tried turning off the second monitor... With simple config. Only loads 
DRI once this time, but hangs again... There goes my theory of maybe merged 
pseudo xonerama or dual monitors cause the problem.

Tomorrow I'll try ssh'ing into it & attach gdb to the running process, or even 
truss/strace the X binary & see where it's getting stuck (Waiting on the CP 
somewhere maybe which is why it's unresponsive?)
