Hi,
its definitly an X problem.
i ran into similar probs with radeons and rage128s... and seemed to be the
same with different kernels.
Debian unstable contains a fix for that behaviour, but I don't know about RH
7.x and 8.x:
A temporary fix would be disabling drm.
....
Debian changelog:
xfree86 (4.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
* patch #000_post421: resynced with xf-4_2-branch as of 2002-10-06
+ Xdm patches: realloc usage, zero malloc()ated memory, enable
/dev/urandom on NetBSD 1.4 and later (#5345, Mike A. Harris, #5401,
Matthias Scheler) (Matthieu Herrb)
+ Fix crash in the TextWidget reported by Hans Wilmer. The bug is fixed in
the TextAction.c patch (actually it was fixed in head, but I forgot to
update the 4.2 branch, that is what most people are using). Also synced
some other bug fixes only in CVS head. (Paulo Cesar Pereira de Andrade)
* patch #002: resynced with xf-4_2-branch updates
* patch #024: new; fix for hangs upon VT switch back to XFree86 on Rage128
and Radeon cards due to failure to set and reset PCI busmastering properly
(thanks, Michel Dänzer) (Closes: #163359)
