system locks when exiting X with radeon driver

The system does not respond to a ping.  The configuration file I just
used to test this was the output from

# Xorg -configure

and it's pasted below.

Is this something I should submit a bug for?  I also wonder if I'm
doing something wrong.  I've had to setup three older laptops in the
past few days.  Another system had an another old ATI card and it
would lock in a similar manner on Xorg startup and a second system
(IBM R51 with an intel card) did the same.  All three systems seem
stable with the vesa driver.

Thanks,

Joey
