That shouldn't make a difference but probably I'm not the best one to answer that, just throwing some ideas to test.

bitbytebit:
It seems like something is different, but probably if not the kernel config it probably is somewhere in how OpenGL and X Windows is setup or versions they are using.  Not sure though, possibly logs of X Windows during the crashes and dmesg output with DRM layer using a higher debug level.

An update... simply to show that I haven't given up ;)

Arch Linux uses a rolling release cycle... So all of the packages are generally bleeding-edge. Going backwards can be rather difficult, particularly if you are trying to downgrade to a version of a package that was never installed on your system.

In any event, I started comparing versions from Arch to Groovy, and found that Xorg, DRM, and Mesa are all newer on my Arch install than on the Groovy CD. I was unable to determine the version of ATI drivers used on the Groovy CD, but I suspect my Arch install is also using a newer version.

I'm finally going to start the dreaded (and painstaking) process of manually compiling (and recompiling) suspected packages and downgrading where necessary. I hope to pinpoint exactly what is breaking my system... Not only for myself, but also because I'd like to contribute something mildly useful to this fine project  :cheers:

A bit later...
Try this patch.
I don't know the naming system for Arch packets, but it should be applied to something like "xf86-video-ati-VERSION_NUMBER".
Obviously you need an ATI graphic card which uses "ati" as Xorg driver.

Hope you will solve your problem :) .
