i had the same problems on my pretty, shitty gericom notebook (radeon
M6) with 2.6.0*-kernels: create a glx-context (either Gem or glxgears or
whatever) and thats it.
the box doesn't really lock, just the Xserver freezes.
i could log in remotely.
however, i upgraded the xserver to debian/unstable 2 days ago.
yesterday i compiled/installed a 2.6.1-kernel.
and hooray it works.
(but i don't know what exactly it was)
i thought guenter is right that this is a plain kernel issue, so 2.6.1
has fixed it for me
