I've experienced this in the past with my old Radeon 7200 series but only with AGP 4x transfer mode. AGP 4x support was somewhat flaky with radeon and my mobo chipset [...even in M$ for that matter] and Option `"AGPMode" "4"` would result in such lockups, only when exiting X.
...it's a long shot but you may wanna try to set it to "2" or even "1" to see if it helps.

Sorry, no improvement. Tried AGP 1,2 and 4. Here's my (current) XF86Config-4:

I've manually commented out everything in the "Module"-section. Didn't help either. I'm ready to give up on Linux (again) ... I try Linux every couple of years, but there's ALWAYS something that just doesn't work!
This time it looks like XFree86 4.2 and a two year old graphics card is the recipe for disaster. It's not exactly cutting edge hw, IT SHOULD WORK BY NOW!
Oh well, back to Windows XP again. Which works perfectly with my Radeon 7200 ...
