OK, at least the dselect segfault is gone, thank you. On the first
reboot after purging all fglrx packages and doing "Xorg -console" (using
the xorg radeon driver) it seemed to be better but then crashed nastily.
I now consistently can log into Gnome but only get to see the desktop,
no panels or menus, just before X starts I see a bunch of segfaults fly.
What the segfault is it doesn't say, just a screenful before switching
mode to the gdm3 launcher. Booting with 2.6.32 works fine still.

The last few lines are caused by me trying to play a video/dvd which
immediately segfaults, and not long after that it all locked up. Running
gstreamer-properties segfaults too, with no dialog being shown. In
2.6.32 playing the same files works fine but I still have the flicker
from the radeon driver, only this time once every minute or so. Its all
most confusing... I will attempt to go back to the fglrx and 2.6.32 for
now.
Thanks
Matthew
