yes, I know drm code is backported from 2.6.33.* - I just tested 
2.6.33.1 to verify the guys done the job forgot nothing :D

unfortunately the joy 2.6.33.1 brought to me is false (crashes too)

* nearly 100% crash / freeze success than "visual effects: none" (set in 
no-kms mode, crash in kms)

* than "visual effects: normal" - crashes are less frequent. upon few 
successful "appearance" launches, I change to "visual effects: none", 
try "appearance" once more and 100% crash expectancy...

* "appearance" is the easiest way to triger crash, but other app 
launches also from time to time triger it too

* never crashed in gdm, or switching to vty/back. only than logged in 
and launching some app

* I found only these of interest in dmesg (they repeat in all kms
boots):

** registered panic notifier

** plymouthd[298]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f6736f85d8b sp 00007fff919086e8 
error 6 in libc-2.11.1.so[7f6736eff000+178000]

* xorg log shows nothing suspicious to me

* the crash leave no trace in logs

* some boots result in kernel panic (see panic.gif), upon trying to 
initialize drm (or at least looks to me so)...

* usually I boot with out "splash" and "quiet", but leaving them on - 
changes nothing

* usually the first two boot messages are about somethig like "address 
space collision". pci address is referring to something "...00:03.0" - 
it seems chipset related. never found anything related in logs

this is as informative as I can get. I hope all these crashes left no 
permanent damage on my hard disk drive :D
