'EQ overflowing' is a symptom of the graphics card locking up, which is almost always caused by the drivers. This advise came from a number of devs in the #radeon IRC channel. As for why I believe it's an ATI bug, this previous comment, together with the fact that the bug first appeared when I updated xf86-video-ati & mesa, makes me pretty certain it's an ATI bug. Also note that after a couple of such video card lockups my hardware is now FRIED ( I can only start X with DRI disabled, and Windows locks hard when booting - I have now bought a new laptop and use my old one as a server ). I find it hard to believe that it's an xserver issue, as the X server doesn't talk directly to the video card - this is what the drivers do.
