Whenever I try to use mozilla mail, I experience the two lines 
repeatedly. I also get this error on other programs, but this is less 
prevalent.

The symptoms on-screen seem to be the loss of fonts for the text 
messages seem to disappear. After the lost text, the system slows down 
unbelievably. sometimes the system locks up and a hard reset is needed.
The first sign was noted after the installation of xorg-x11-6.8.0-4
This happened with the FC2 version of moz and my current version 
mozilla-1.7.2-0.3.0

This is without DRI and 24 depth at 1024 x 768 resolution.

(EE) RADEON(0): FIFO timed out, resetting engine..

Anyway, this seems to be a close cousin to the problem that I had w/ the 
i810 driver. The difference being that this setting is the maximum for 
the laptop and the i810 seems to work well at 24 depth and 1280 x 1024 
resolution.

I am going to drop the depth to 16 for the radeon, but don't think that 
this sort of behavior is intended for the radeon or 810 drivers.
