Can people with problems try Linux kernel 2.2.18? Unless someone with the
problem has found a good solution (this doesn't include Driver "VESA"
btw).

Well, I have a KT133 (KT7-RAID) with a Radeon working fine. Kenneth
Arnold, on the DRI-devel list has a KT7, also with KT133 chipset, with
RQ=0 and Rate=<none>, and system locks during use.
Given, he gets 2 minutes or so of 3D before it breaks, compared to others'
immediate crashes, it still looks suspiciously similar to problems seen
here with AIW boards.
