Well, I can confirm it crashes only when NO USB Mouse is present.

The Problem apparently is also present on ArchLinux: http://forum.archlinux.de/?page=Postings;id=20;thread=8265 There is also a temporarily fix for it - using AGP 1x Mode only.

Add The Following Line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the "Device" Section of your Graphic Adapter

Option "AGPMode" "1"

This makes the bug less critical and I don't know how slow AGP 1x is compared to 4x or 8x, but for new users who aren't experienced enough to look for the right answers and edit conf-files, this bug is a real showstopper.
