Please first check to see if /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 
contains the string:

Option "RenderAccel" "1"

If it does, either remove the line or replace it with:

Option "RenderAccel" "0"

Render acceleration is still not working with the proprietary driver. I'm not 
saying it's definitely this, it just might not be related to the messages in 
syslog.

I occasionally see these badness messages in syslog, but my machine never 
locks up. I was under the impression that these were only warnings.
