1. I have an S3Virage that incurred similar issues. I have
backed up all my filesystems, freed up the space, and installed
a fresh Lenny with good results so far. Hopefully I will not
have time to debug further but if I do, I will follow-up on d-u.
2. I am satisfied the graphics hardware is still functional. I
am not sure whether the issue is in the 2.6.32 kernel or Xorg.
I do know 2.6.32 breaks my old SCSI support! Sid has finally
forced me to return to the good old days. And my Lenny install
was not a piece of cake for this experienced sysadmin. "I KNOW
