as expected, unfortunately ...

This is a known problem in/with the ati drivers, currently.
That's why I called support for the misc. ati chipsets "unstable", see the long 
thread.
The following cards/chipsets do work with what you have downloaded, but only 
with above instabilities:

PGX8 (card or onboard in earlier U5/U10)
PGX24 (onboard in later U5/U10)
PGX64 (card or onboard in SB100/SB150)
XVR-100

The ati drivers currently start up, but can not be killed / terminated in 
whatever way.
Misc. functions to terminate and to release resources make something wrong.
It's difficult to find out which function causes that trouble, as the whole 
host is completely dead afterwards (no Stop+A, nothing, no error messages in 
syslog, nor in Xorg's log, no core dump, no crash dump, dbx doesn't catch it 
either, just nothing).

That crap is exclusive to the ati code (The other boards: Creator, Creator3D 
etc. [FFB1, FFB2, FFB2+], Elite3D [AFB] and PGX32/Raptor8p all do _not_ have 
this problem, can be considered as being quite "stable")

I'm a bit in a vacuum currently.
I will resume my Xorg related work asap (hopefully 2nd half of next week).
