Comment 26 for bug 15219

Well,
I've upgraded my xorg-x11-drv-ati (xf86-video-ati) from 6.5.8.0 to 6.6.3 (have compiled it under the old Fedora Core 5 environment, i.e. xorg-x11-server-sdk-1.0.1 , with some little adaptation).

It seems that the issue is gone. Already 15 minutes with hard tests I cannot cause my compurter to freeze ;)

Note, that the issue still was present in version 6.6.1 .

Also note: to compile the 6.6.3 version under old plus "exa < 2.0" servers's environment, I have to apply the patch (attached) and cause 'USE_EXA' macro to be set anyway (because of some inaccuracy in ifdef code usage).
