Actually, Greg's problem appears to be the AGP FW problem with AMD761 rather than current DRI+7500 problem. The DRI+7500 problem happens on all AGP chipsets and usually causes lockup when running some 3D games (like Q3A) but not at the beginning of X server. It appears okey to run all Mesa demos. Even Q3A is okey if GL extension is disabled from Q3A menu. There are some fixes for AGP initialization in the 2D driver of current XFree CVS and RH7.3 which may be able to solve Greg's problem.
