I assume you mean "You should _enable_ them most of the time".?

We're not explicitly disabling Dynamic Clocks. It's just that the
installer knows nothing of Dynamic Clocks and so doesn't explicitly
_enable_ them.

AFAICT this is already fixed in 6.8.2, but the patch which fixes it
causes other problems and was hence backed out in the RPM -- that's what
bug #152648 is about.

http://david.woodhou.se/xorg-x11-6.8.1-ati-radeon-dynamic-clocks-fix-2.patch
is being applied to our latest xorg-x11 package. If I use a radeon_drv.o
from a version immediately before that patch was added, the machine no
longer dies.
