The fix will probably be in the next release of XFree86 or you can use an option in the xfree86.conf file (or whatever it is called - it's been a while since I looked at this.) If you want details then let me know and I'll dig them out. (I've run an ATI rage ultra at work and a rage 128 pro at home with opengl screensavers with no lockups at all since including the (one line!) patch.)
