radeon driver causes random lockups

I've been using the ATI driver described in the message below. It's been causing my laptop to lock up randomly.

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/5/i386/xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.8.0-1.i386.rpm

removed my /etc/X11/xorg.conf and ran

system-config-display --reconfig

and I was up and running again. The T30 built-in LCD does 1024x768 natively,
but the xorg.conf file it wrote only supported 800x600, but that's an easy
thing to fix by hand.

Note that I haven't tried to tweak the AGP speed or turn on acceleration or
anything like that, yet.

Following the advice described below didn't work for me at all.
