OK, we thought this was a danger of building AGP in the default config,
but it had been in 2.0-testing for some time and we hadn't had any
reports.

Please can you say exactly which modules are being loaded and used. If
you can get a serial line on the laptop to capture an oops message that
would be really helpful.

If you know how to tweak the Xconfig to avoid using AGP/DRM as a
temporary measure that would be useful to put in the faq.

If you're having success with particular AGP or DRM modules that would
be helpful to hear about too.

Thanks,
Ian
