Try with nomodeset maybe but I don't think it'll help.

I'm trying to stabilise the 3D driver again for compiz, we've rewritten
radeon support pretty much from scratch for F10 so I'm now fixing the

Isn't desktop effect unuseably slow for you? I thought the speed might
stop people from using it long before the crashing.
