Posting my latest DRM and Mesa patches in case they should prove useful to

I moved the CP idle outside the while loop in radeon_state.c. I think it may
apply to the R300 as well as there is an "if R300 idle command" in the
Xserver RADEONEnterServer function.
I have not tried removing the DRM changes since adding the Mesa change. Just
sticking with something that doesn't lockup.
I'm still thinking it just doesn't really make sense the rv250 would
need the pairwise tex emit. Apparently, it's not needed for a lot of
people (my own rv250 If never locks up like that) so I guess there's
more to it.
One reason which comes to mind why some cards lock up and others don't
(apart from timing differences due to cpu/chipset) would be different
bioses on the cards - there have been issues like that wrt to cache
programming in the past.
Probably not. My FireGL8800 used to crash a lot about one year ago while
ajax' never crashed. And as far as I can tell, there is only one BIOS for
that card. ( http://www.techpowerup.com/bios/?search=8800&Submit=Search )
BTW, a friend of mine reports 6.8.2 stable with his 8800, while it did not
work on my machine.
That site is probably far from exhaustive. I know at least two bioses
for the 7000 that are not listed there. And I've seen radeon caching
issues solved by bios updates in the past.
Also, you don't happen to have fast writes enabled ?
