Look for "Direct rendering enabled" and "Initializing built-in extension COMPOSITE".

Which I just did in your old log:
(EE) RADEON(0): Static buffer allocation failed. Disabling DRI.
(EE) RADEON(0): At least 66000 kB of video memory needed at this resolution and depth.
(II) RADEON(0): RADEONRestoreMemMapRegisters() :
(II) RADEON(0): MC_FB_LOCATION : 0xebffe800 0x1fff0000
(II) RADEON(0): MC_AGP_LOCATION : 0xffffffc0
(==) RADEON(0): Backing store disabled
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

So that is why it is stable, DRI is disabled... But compiz and all 3D applications will suck without DRI.
