Any joy ? I apparently have the same problem with my RS690. I 
noticed it after upgrading from 2.6.25 to 2.6.26, alongside 
xorg-server (1.4.99.904 to 1.4.99.905) and Mesa (7.1-rc1 to 
7.1-rc3). The ATI driver is 6.9.0.

Here it always freezes in a few minutes or less than an hour. 
When it happens, I'm not running any 3D application and the CPU 
is idle. I may be just typing something in a shell. But it 
works disabling DRI.

Alt-SysRq-s/u/b is the only way. Trying with q freezes the 
mouse cursor.
