I tried the instructions to reproduce the bug and I hate to add to a possible flurry of 'me toos', but I thought this might be significant: On a PPro180 with vanilla 2.1.112 and a Matrox Millenium 4 MB card the bug appears very quickly (I see screen garbage for a fraction of a second) and either completely locks the machine (no ping, no SysRq, no nothing) or causes a hard reboot. Very nasty. I will try the SLOW_VGA option to see if it has any effect.
