A few questions:
- is this a regression? If so, what was the last working version?
- can you reproduce this with the kernel from sid or experimental? (It
should only be necessary to install updated linux-base, linux-image-<foo>,
and initramfs-tools to check.) If so, we can report this upstream, and
if not, we can look for a fix to backport.
- some of the hints at http://intellinuxgraphics.org/how_to_report_bug.html
might also be helpful (especially re finding out if anything interesting
was logged during the modeswitch).
Thanks for reporting, and hope that helps,
Jonathan
