I'm using a larger VirtualSize (3200 1280) with the previous version of Mesa (so including 103_bump_965_texture_limit.diff). I do experience occasional freezes, so I don't think it completely solves the problem. Reading back I don't think the above patch is a suspect anymore, but I'll upgrade Mesa to the current version and see if it freezes again.
