Hi Moritz,
after much delay (I'm sorry, I'm drowning in work) and a new batch of
ram chips (which greatly improved the stability of the machine in
question) I managed to install the new 2.6.30 kernel from backports on
the machine, and the display is fine. Whatever seems to have caused the
trouble seems to be fixed upstream... The stock 2.6.26 kernel that
comes with lenny still shows the strange behaviour.
I hope these tests help. I'm at CERN for the rest of the week (the
machine is here in Heidelberg), so if you need anything tested, please
let me know, this should be much easier to do now that I haven't seen
any crashes on the machine for over three weeks.
Cheers, and thanks for the patience,
Manuel
