I separated ths bug now again, as it seems the fix (patch for line acceleration) discussed in bug 63503 only fixes the problems with 9000/9100/9200-series, which means this bug is a different one.

It would be nice if someone with a r100 card (Radeon 7000 series or a Radeon Mobility M6) could try these:

1. Some known problems are fixed in Ubuntu 7.04 development version Herd-4, so the first thing one should do is to make sure you still can hang the machine with Herd-4. Success reports plus card model are welcome. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-4/. Herd 5 will be available at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/herd-5 on Thursday.

2. If you manage to see the hangs with the Ubuntu development version, you could try the latest GIT version of xserver-xorg-video-ati next. It has even more fixes to hanging problems. I put compilation instructions (typo in the apt-get command though) near the end of bug 28925.
