I admit that I don't know the first thing about Xorg internals, but the change at

http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i810/i830_driver.c?r1=1.35&r2=1.36

must have *something* to do with the crashing (it is, after all, supposed to fix
just that).

With 6.8.2-75, X crashes when playing video, after a suspend/resume cycle. With
the previous
version, this didn't happen (as long as USE_DPMS was set to true).

I also don't seem to get any crashes when using a rebuilt i810 driver from 6.8.2-75,
except for reverting the patch above.
