The current version of the ati driver causes my Thinkpad T42 to freeze
a few minutes after X is started. Changing to the vesa driver causes
the freezes to stop. Commenting out all loaded modules from the Module
section of xorg.conf causes the freeze to take longer to happen, but
it does not prevent it. Likewise, turning off hardware acceleration
with the NoAccel option does not prevent the freezes (though I do not
recall whether NoAccel made the freeze take longer to happen).
You're right. David Nusinow already knows about this bug (although I'm
sure is good to remind him :) )
Take a look to this:

We need to wait!

The chipset is:
(--) RADEON(0): Chipset: ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M10) NT (AGP) (ChipID
= 0x4e54)
For now I have used snapshot.debian.net to downgrade to 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6
and all is well again. I have been having this problem for much or all of
2006. I believe 6.9.x already had the problem, and no update through
1:6.5.7.3-3 has fixed it.
The following thread describes the same problem I am seeing, but
unfortunately with no resolution reached:

Here is my xorg.conf:
