I need to root cause it

Actually, anything that has to do with changing the screen (resize or rotate) through xrandr causes X to restart. This has been confirmed with the latest PSB drivers on Ubuntu daily build as of 20080327. The same drivers work as expected in another distro.

At this point, I doubt it will be fixed. Closing.
