I am running Debian unstable only on my laptop (Lenovo T61). I might be
able to test it on some other hardware, but that would require quite an
investment of time (installing Debian, while keeping my 2.5 year old from
"helping" Daddy :)). And I am lacking time already.

Yes, my X server crashes! So kids, don't try this at home.

I saw this too, but considered it unrelated as it mentioned VmWare. Hmm,
maybe I should add myself to the bug report, as I can reproduce it with
100% reliability.
