Are you using the radeon.ko and drm.ko modules in CVS, or stayed with the ones
in Slackware ?
I actually own _two_ systems that reliably crash with old snapshots 
(FireGL 8800 128MB and Radeon 9100 128MB) but I now have a working version :
1/ Xorg 6.8.99.15 (about 2 months old)
2/ DRM + MESA/DRI, CVS checkout of 4th of August, 2005 (I do not have the
time right now to see if newer snapshots actually work...)
You _have_ to replace your kernel modules with the newer ones (make linux-core)
otherwise the lock is still here. I think you also have to replace your Xorg
because 6.8.2 won't take the newer DRI drivers.
