When switching from full-screen 3D game (Urban Terror) back to X (using alt+tab), the desktop appears and the machine hangs instantly and completely (does not respond to pings).

Looks like MESA bug. 7.7 hangs, 7.5 does not.
Comment 3 Ondrej Zary 2010-04-05 04:37:51 UTC
7.6 hangs too.

Does booting with kernel parameter radeon.modeset=1 help?

KMS was completely broken on this system last time I tried it (3D did not work at all).

Netconsole (http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netconsole.txt)
might let you capture some useful kernel messages just before freeze.
If normal boot doesn't produce any useful information from the freeze
booting with drm.debug=15 would give lots of debug information.

That sounds like serious bug that should be fixed. Is there open bug
report about your KMS problems?
