I have a T60 laptop with an X1400 ATI card and use the radeon driver
with a fully updated F10 system. X server was also randomly crashing.
I submitted a bug against the X server/radeon driver at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19300. Was told it is
likely a kernel modesetting problem. Setting a nomodeset option for
the kernel boot seems to have solved the crash problem (at least the
machine has been crash-free longer than usual). As an added bonus,
resume after suspend now works correctly (but resume after hibernate
still doesn't).

I ran F9 on an older Thinkpad T41 with an ATI chip (don't remember the
model), and never had any trouble - everything worked, including
suspend and hibernate. The F9 live CD works well in the T60 laptop,
including suspend and hibernate - so much so that I considered
downgrading to F9.
