[Bug 31527] Re: DRI locks up the machine when starting X on a Radeon 9250

[ath]

The new radeon driver (6.5.8.0) doesn't fix my problem, probably it's a different issue. X still hangs instantly at startup (right while it's changing the video mode from the usplash one).

The only way I've found to avoid the crash (short of disabling DRI) is applying the kernel patch.
