just one thing...
on my card (radeon7000/VE) all worked fine with the driver 6.6.3 from 7.04. it's freezing with 6.7.195 from 7.10.
also, i bought specifically my card at the time because ATI developped free drivers (it was a while back). at the time they gave NDA docs and paid some people to develop the drivers.
anyway, just wanted to point out. for at least some of the freezes, all was fine with 6.6.x and broke with 6.7.x. i believe adding support for newer cards and for XRANDR broke some things.
