fwiw, I've found the dri snapshot at nixnuts.net to be absolutely stable with my 9200SE (rv280 chipset). I don't think I've had any crashes at all. Mostly it gets used for a spot of Q3A or UT -- UT2003 is unbearably slow (for reasons outlined on this list sometime IIRC) and UT2004 has severe rendering errors, so it isn't all perfect.
