I guess there is some bug report that might fit the particular problem 
on the below list of bugs. I'll have to narrow down the search a bit 
later. For now, I'm not switching to a terminal, then back to X.

There is a lot of corruption to the display at the top of the LCD panel 
when the switching occurs and the lockup happens. I can close down X, 
then switch to terminals with no problem, then restart X again. 3D seems 
to work alright with screensavers.

When I grabbed the installable rawhide version a few days back via FTP, 
running the installer was sort of "hit or miss", it was alright, if I 
was careful enough to not bother the mouse when upgrading. So the driver 
is not completely broken, it seems to be related to resolution changes 
or mode changes (terminal to X, when X is running.)

Pick a bug that seems to be closest to the problem that you are seeings.
