I have a Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103 with the unsupported Radeon chip set as well. So, I'm stuck with e VESA driver :P, but at least it works well enough. I'm going to try X 4.2 when I get some spare time. i.a.uemlianin> If I'm in X (Gnome) and I'm idle for a while (10 i.a.uemlianin> mins?) X crashes. I had a similar problem on my Satellite. It turned out that DPMS was the culpret. My X would crash every 20 minutes precisely. This turns out to be the exact value of the DPMS Standby parameter in the XF86Config-4 file. Anyway I simply commented out DPMS and X stays up now.
