Nice; you could also have gdm start several servers, one for each
layout, and VT switch to the one you want to use?

It does smell like it, if Windoze is affected as well...

Still, I can think of a couple of things you could try:

  * disable the __HAVE_SHARED_IRQ definition in
linux/drivers/char/drm/radeon.h; seems to work around some IRQ
related problems, see
http://bugs.xfree86.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314
  * try DRI CVS snapshot packages described in
http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/README.Debian
