I just installed the open source drivers (tried from the pacman repo (using Arch Linux) and the one from the GIT repo) and it runs really nice, almost as good as the FGLRX driver (which is a HUGE improvement since I last tried it last year). However, whenever I run a 3d application, after a little while (lighter programs like StepMania take a few minutes, fully 3d intensive programs is within 20 seconds or so), my entire desktop hangs to the point I can't move the mouse or input anything with the keyboard and I am forced to shut down the computer via the power button.
Sometimes the screen goes black and the monitor loses signal, sometimes it leaves the display frozen on the screen. Either way, I can't use my mouse/keyboard and everything just halts.
Any ideas? This doesn't happen with the FGLRX drivers or in Windows XP. I don't really want to use the FGLRX drivers, I'm pretty satisfied with the open source one (besides this problem, obviously). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Btw, I'm using a Radeon 9550 AGP 8x 256mb (running it as 4x in the xorg config file since my mobo doesnt support any higher than 4x)
Here is my Xorg.conf
