Hi,
I pulled the latest sources from git:
git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati

Then I applied the patch:
patch --verbose -uN < alex_deucher.diff

The patch applied succesfully (had to enter manually the path to the files to patch)
Then I edited my xorg.conf file and set the ati driver, then I restarted X and the computer crashed. I had to restart by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
In the Xorg.0.log:
(EE) RADEON(0): Timeout trying to update memory controller settings !
(EE) RADEON(0): You will probably crash now ...

I'll attach this log and my xorg.conf,
regards,
Antoine

ps: will also post this message on bugzilla at freedesktop.org
