That goes along with what I see here.

Oh well ... I guess it couldn't have been *that* easy. I do have a few
other things enabled/disabled on my X31. I;m going to try to see how
each of these affects stability on the X22.
(from the Device section, xorg 6.8.2)
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "false"
Option "SWcursor" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "false"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "DynamicClocks" "false"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
(I got these from Thinkwiki, if I remember correctly.) Some combination
of the above, and the driconf setting mentioned at the top of the post,
seems to keep my X31 from locking up. Or at least, I have been unable
to reporduce the crash so far with the above tweaks on at least one
machine.

Like Alex D says (and he should know :) ), a restart isn't necessary.
Well, unless your machine locks up.
