Since you've got an X22 there - here's an experiment.  (Close all
valuable programs while trying this!)  Open up an xterm run glxgears.
Open up Celestia and run its demo mode - letting it run alongside the
glxgears.  This trick would cause the machine to lock up when I used the
X22, and I'm curious to see if the bug's still around in the later
xorgs.  Sometimes the X22 would make it through the demo once, but a
second run of the demo alongside a running glxgears window would kill
it.

Another way to do the same thing is to start up about four glxgears
windows, then resize them a few times and move them around.  Usually,
the machine would hang within a few minutes.

Also, you may be able to squeeze out a few more FPS out of the X22 by
downloading / running driconf and enabling "HyperZ".
