I've cherrypicked a recent Xv fix from upstream, and built this deb for
testing:

http://www.bryceharrington.org/ubuntu/Ati/
        xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.9.0+git20080826.a3cc1d7a-2ubuntu4~bwh2_i386.deb

I do not think it fixes this issue, since the issue it fixes is display
corruption, not a kernel lockup.  However it would be helpful to rule it
out, if you wouldn't mind testing it?

You mentioned the kernel is hung when this happens - how are you
determining this?  If the kernel is hanging, we probably ought to refile
this bug against 'linux' and ask ogasawara to look.

Tormod's suggestion of testing AGPMode settings is also a very good
recommendation.  That option takes values 1, 2, 4, 8.  Checking with
Option "AccelMethod" "EXA" would also be worthwhile, although I don't
think we're ready to switch to EXA over XAA as the default for -ati yet,
but if it solves the issue it would be good to know.
