You could try again with mesa 7.6.1, I know that version works. I think there was a problem with mesa since from that version through 7.8, but I think it is fixed in mesa's current development source. I thought the problem manifested itself as a crash though, not a hang. Hopefully someone else will recognize your problem, I have never seen that before.
