hmm, doesn't seem to change the hanging. But it does run when I use
1024x768. Performance does seem much better (especially textures,
which used to thrash quite a bit with the old driver), and sproingies
et al work great. But I get some hard locks (no sysrq) in quake3 and
UT. For instance the UT intro doesn't seem to be able to run to
completion...
