I don't know if it's related or not (is the M24 apparented to the 9800 in any way ?), but on Tridge laptop, with one of these chips, he gets total hard lockups of the laptop when using google earth with the current r300 DRI (after disabling the smooth fallbacks since google earth trigger them). It worked with an earlier r300 DRI though (whatever debian used to have, he'll try to figure out more precisely). Also, Wolfenstein locks up solid right away if you pop the quake "console". If you don't do that, it works fine in window mode (it displays nothing in full screen). With both the old and the current driver. I have asked him to test with fglrx first to see if that helps. I expect he'll pop on this list or the bugzilla with more details soon.
