"UP systems"? I can't make that one out.

DRI + G400 works for me on an Athlon system (Irongate north bridge). I do have multiple contexts at the same time and I have never had any lock up that seems directly related to that (and I do hammer the pipeline). In fact, I haven't had a lock for for the last three or four months, I think. ATM I'm running off DRI CVS code (X server extensions, DRI drivers and GL libraries, everything else here is what the xfree86-sever package ships with, including the server itself)
I'm gald it works on your UP athlon, but that doesn't help SMP users. =)
Most of the lock ups I've seen, seem to be related to the chipset on the box, VIA KT133 chipsets being perhaps the most sensitive of them. Intel BX chipsets seem to work fine (albeit being slower than the VIA ones for some kinds of operations)
Yes, I don't think it works with SMP chipsets at all as far as I know. I don't consider it working when it randomly locks.
