Description David C. Rankin 2007-11-15 18:15:20 UTC
System: Toshiba P35-S629
Processor: P4 3.33GHz
Ram: 1 Gig
GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 Series
OS: openSuSE 10.3/xorg 7.3/all updates
kernel: 2.6.22.12-0.1-default

    Using the Radeon driver with 3D enabled locks the graphics system and hardlocks the system. This prevent the system from being able to boot to runlevel 5. The only way to start the graphics system with 3D enabled is to boot to runlevel 3 and then go directly into kde with startx. Leaving the graphics system, you cannot go back in without a hardlock and hard reset. This has been exhaustively investigated with Novell and the problem was identified with the r300 driver. There is an incredibly detailed step by step investigation, with logs and screen shots already prepared for you at:

I suppose it's AGP related problem. Could you try different AGP modes in xorg.conf? Also check if AGP Fast Writes is disabled.
