Miles isn't alone, I also get 'trying to get vblank count for disabled
pipe 0' (GM965). vblank interrupts were previously not working for me,
but they are now. I'm not sure what's changed.

For me, this happens every time a GL app is run.

I'm also getting occasional lockups. Often it's the window manager
(metacity) that locks up when attempting to move a window, restarting
the window manager unlocks X but attempting to move a window again
results in another lockup. When it's locked up the pointer moves and vt
switching works but nothing else. Other times I've had a hard lockup
that required a hard reboot, this happens less frequently.
