It doesn't seem to be fatal, but is anyone else getting these? Unfortunately it's not recorded in the Xorg logfile, it can only be seen when starting Xorg from the console.

Xorg locks hard, no way to get back into the console or zap Xorg with CTRL-ALT-BS, only thing that still works is syncing disks and resetting via sys-request shortcuts.

using kernel AGP vs fglrx AGP

Anyone know whether this makes a performance and/or stability difference?

8.20.8 does work fine with current Debian sid packages

Disabling the external VGA port?

Does anyone know how disable the VGA port completely even when a cable is attached? Fiddling around with the DesktopSetup and ForceMonitor options didn't do the trick for me, and the MonitorLayout option found in some documentation is no longer valid in the current fglrx driver.
