Hm, so looks like I'm not seeing some ghosts on mine either. 2.6.25-rc8 
xorg runs under etch, but enters a tight (no syscalls) loop woth 100% CPU 
load under lenny. A 2.6.24 based kernel works under both etch and lenny... 
Haven't had time to try to localize the problem. Glint xorg driver, DRM 
and AGP are off, CONFIG_FB_PM2=y.

Thanks
