I can confirm that with a PCI Radeon 9250 (same basic chip design) on
x86_64, I regularly got system freezes *unless* I took "load dri" out of
Xorg.conf.
I won't use closed-source drivers with Linux.

Yes it is absolutely the box stock Fedora/Xorg radeon driver, on FC4
with fully up2date installs. My boxes did this under FC3 as well. If
"Load dri" is removed the systems boot/run reliably. They are Dell
SC1425 IU rackmounts, using the Radeon 7000 chipset. 32 bit intel dual
P4 boxes.
