After a little experimentation and a lot of waiting for my machine to 
reboot I have determined that it has nothing to do with GDM at all. 
 Even startx can hose my machine.  The only thing that keeps things 
remotely useable is the fact that it never locks up the machine the 
first time it runs.

So where does the Radeon driver development take place?  Is there a 
place to report this sort of thing so that the debugging can happen?
