	Dual Athlon MP and a Ati Radeon 7000-VE AGP.
>Description:
	The DRM driver (at least the Radeon) doesn't seem to work with
	SMP.  If X makes use of DRI the whole system freezes.
>How-To-Repeat:
	On a multiprocessor system configure a 5.4-STABLE for SMP,
	then add the line Load "dri" in xorg.conf and run X.  After a
	few moments of use the system freezes.  The exact activity
	that triggers the bug is not known but a few open windows are
	usually enough.

	If the same system is booted with kern.smp.disabled="1" in
	device.hints the system, including DRI/DRM, works just fine.
>Fix:

	None known.
