The "DRI lockup on switching console back to X" I am seeing still occurs with 2.4.19-pre10 plus the pageattr-B1-2.4.19-pre10 patch recently posted to LKML by Ben LaHaise. For the record, the other relevant details of my system are a Radeon VE QY video card, Tyan S2460 motherboard (AMD 760MP chipset) and RedHat XFree86-4.2.0-8. On a similar system, replacing the motherboard with an ASUS A7M266-D (AMD 760MPX chipset) eliminated the lockup. As both chipsets use the AMD 762 northbridge, I guess either the motherboards program the northbridge differently, or else there is some interaction with the two different southbridges (AMD 766 in 760MP, AMD 768 in 760MPX).
