I have a Radeon 8500 that also locks up hard.  I enabled sysrq in my

lockup is in the dri somewhere as the machine runs for days when no GUI
has been used.  I suspect that the problem may be in the OpenGL somewhere
because most of the time the machine is frozen on a OpenGL xscreensaver.
I haven't noticed a particular one though.  What I have been doing is
using the GUI for a while and then changing back to the console so the
machine does not lock up, but I have noticed that the machine is becoming
unstable even without the GUI running and a reboot is still necessary
eventually.  What I mean is that running the GUI eventually makes the
machine unstable even if it is not allowed to actually lockup. I have
tried various window managers and it does not seem to matter which one,
eventually all have locked up when left on for several hours.  I am going
to try uninstalling xscreensaver and leaving the GUI up to see what
happens.
