I don't have that old computer anymore and I was able to reproduce
that problem with etch *only*. So, this can be definitely ignored for
'etch'.

However, with the latest kernel (now in testing too) v2.6.26-10 I'm
getting from time to time a X/kernel freeze when I'm trying to return
to my X/gnome session from screen saver (random selected). Only my
work station is affected (i386) and it didn't happen with any of the
previous versions, so it seems like a regression introduced in the
last build (-10).

I didn't filled a bug report knowing from this previous bug (almost 2
years ago) that without the knowledge to debug it with a serial
connection or netconsole module it will be in vain. I didn't had the
time to learn this yet, maybe a wiki page would help for those that
are not kernel developers.

Thanks
