I own a K8M800 and when i have AGPDMA enabled the unichrome_dri.so
produce the hang up of my machine (in debian sid provided by
libgl1-mesa-dri). This behaviour i experimented with 2.6.20, 2.6.21,
2.6.22 and 2.6.23 (kernels compiled by myself and also the debian
packaged kernels)

that's all the information i give you, i tried to debug the but i never
could do this, especially because is recommended (at freedesktop.org)
use a second machine and connect via ssh yo debug it, but i own my
laptop currently.

good luck ;)

and thanks for keeping the development of this driver

regards
