With the -16 kernel my system did nothing but freeze, so often and badly in fact that
I pulled the r128 card and stuck in a ViperII (S3 Savage).
I put the r128 back in after installing the -18 kernel.
Using glx and dri, other than the kdm login screen, I have had no problem.
No freezes no crashes and all 3d apps run well and since using gdm no login screen
problem.
It may be worth noting again that I am running the r128 on the -18 kernel Without fb.
