I have just tested on my laptop which had the problem (and which is why I started spending time on this in the first time). I've just done 13 VT switches, with and without glxgears running and have not been able to induce the crash. I'm even getting tired of VT switching... ;) Which patch are you using? The one I sent, or the one Michel committed? I am concerned (and Michel, correct me if I'm blundering) that the DRI commit has the bus master enable AFTER RADEONEngineRestore(). I am still interested to see the 3 lspci -vvv's, your XF86Config-4 and your XFree86.log.
