Hi Bernd, I too have a simialr problem on my laptop with Radeon Mobility chip. No matter what mode i bootup my system and no matter what resolution i use i get the lock up. Initially i felt it was the 8 Mb that i had on my video card which is the problem but then even at a 640x480 resolution is freezes. There got to something worng someplace.
