LinuxQuestions.org - Xorg ATI Radeon Driver Crashing Slackware Current 3.8.8 Kernel

I wasn't sure if my previous post went through or got rejected. Please disregard this post. This was simply a test to see if i could post

This thread can be removed. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will post my question again

I'm having a hard time getting the ati radeon driver to work properly with slackware current 3.8.8 kernel. The driver will randomly crash and produce a corrupted image on the screen. Eventually Xwindows will stop working entirely and the box will freeze. SSH still works but it appears that X is taking up nearly 100% cpu. I have experienced the problem where the screen will appear functional for about 10 seconds then go completely black. Here are some stats from my server. Any help would be appreciated.

(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing. Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed.

Never mind this is a duplicate my previous post did go through. Sorry this thread can be deleted sorry.
