I've also been seeing the AMD-761 + radeon total lockup when X starts,
as described in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=221904&group_id=387&atid=100387
The X server fixes from ATI seem to fix this when running without dri,
but in dri mode, I still see the lockups 75% of the time. However,
the fix described above and appended below appears to be a complete
cure for me so far.
I'd like the opinion of the DRI folks about whether this should be in
the mainline kernel DRM, or if this is just a workaround for a problem
that still needs fixed elsewhere, but it certainly appears to work
fine for me.
