I'm not sure this can be considered a bug in the radeon driver then, unless maybe there's a way for it to detect the unusable AGP aperture size. Prior to upgrading to etch this system ran sarge with X.org packages (6.9) from backports.org. Those were usable even with the aperture size set to 32MB

I've also experienced this bug, so this is more of a confirmation of this problem on another system. Running xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.3-2 on my system with DRI enabled causes the X server to hang in some kind of loop. Keyboard and mouse are unusable, but the system is still up, and remote
