i810 1.7.4 driver lockups

[Alan Hourihane]

With that option you are using the older i915_dri.so 3D driver. But if
you take it out you use the new i915tex_dri.so.

It may be that your kernel module is causing problems, in which case
looking at the output from 'dmesg' will be valuable information when the
lockup occurs.
