F11 Xorg keeps crashing radeon 9200

[JEO]

Fully updated F11, video card sapphire radeon atlantis 9200. Xorg keeps crashing randomly and kicks me out to the F11 login screen, sometimes when I try to close a window, other times just by itself.

From /var/log/messages at the exact time of the crash:

kernel: Xorg[1663]: segfault at 70c0b30 ip 049de1de sp bfaf0bac error 4 in libgcc_s-4.4.0-20090506.so.1[49bd000+2a000]

Anyone else having this problem?

For my Radeon 9250 (just a glorified 9200) to work properly in F11 I had to create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf and disable DRI. Otherwise the X server would crash. It sucks, but ever since FC5 I've had to do that for the free ATI driver to work (the proprietary driver for the 9200 stopped working after FC6). Just curious, but does your mobo use a VIA chipset? I found out that those are known to be problematic when used with older Radeons like the 9200 with DRI enabled.

Exactly so, good call on the via chipset.
