What do you mean by "swiching X Servers"?  Are you trying to mix KMS and UMS?

no, starting a second x server session.

btw:

Any chance you could bisect?

it"s quite hard to reproduce. sometimes it does not happen for 3-4 days and then it locks up. which verbose level is good for reporting so maybe a higher one will give more hints.

That is probably a different issue (maybe also ddx or mesa related).  Possibly fixed by this drm patch:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=b7d8cce5b558e0c0aa6898c9865356481598b46d

not sure if this is related, but i got a lockup with a different traceback today:

Is this still a problem on 2.6.38.y / 2.6.39-rc* ?

the 2.6.38 was sligthly more stable then the 2.6.39 is.

the current lockup shows:

2.6.39 lockup

Is this still an issue with a more recent kernel (3.x)?
