That dual-cpu configuration with this chipset is probably not that
common (for people using r200 dri), which might have something to do why
it doesn't work for you.
It would really help if you could use git bisect to find the commit
where it broke (though I guess it could be a change in either drm, mesa,
or even ddx).

I think fastwrites typically will just lock up when you launch X, though
it's disabled by default anyway.
