3D blocks the x-server, only mouse moves but keyboard seems disabled or so

[folkert at vanheusden dot com]

Hi,

I have a HP Pavillion zv5231ea laptop with a ati mobility radeon 9000igp
(ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5835).
Now my x-server runs nicely with the driver. Things draw quiet a bit
quicker then what was shipped with this xfree-server.
I'm running XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1

The 3D stuff is configured:
folkert at ehm:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9000/9100 IGP Series DDR Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4893 (X4.3.0-8.10.19)

But when I start fgl_glxgears or glxgears I get a black window. Also, I
can still move the mouse but it seems the keyboard is ignored (ctrl+alt+
backspace doesn't work).

I've tried with 64MB and 128MB of videoram (shared memory, can configure
it from the bios) with the same results.
