Hi - locked up and rebooted for me (ASUS A8V with Radeon 9200SE).
Last time round this happened too and the problem was that dma-buflist
and/or dma->pagelist weren't allocated - corecode fixed it then but I'm not
sure how.

This one? The cause can't be the same, this is fixed for sure in the
update as well.

And "rebooted" means that it paniced? Crashdump?

That's the one - although that wasn't the proper fix.

Display froze, system rebooted, no panic, no message just a reboot.

Really strange. Never seen something like this ... Anyone has idea?

Interrupt foobar? These things tend to be hard to debug. Could be triple fault on the stack running the interrupt handler...

Any idea how I can find out ? I'm perfectly willing to crash the
box again if there's any gain to be had from doing so.

I picked up a new video card (Radeon X1650 AGP) - it seems to be
working fine with this patch, Mesa-7.2 and xorg-server-1.5.1 (I've hacked
the pkgsrc packages to get those, if anyone wants the hackage let me know).
This on my ever troublesome A8V box.

Heh I spoke too soon when I said it worked fine with my new X1650 
but it's close. From time to time an app using GLX would lock up in drmvbl
state - I looked around and it seemed that there was a problem with
vblank_disable_fn in drm_irq.c - a lock was taken on dev>vbl_lock and
there was a path out of the function that didn't unlock it - so I added the
unlock and I haven't been able to provoke a lockup since - patch below
(applies after your patch Hasso).
