The log had this line just below:
Build Operating System: Linux Debian (xorg-server 2:1.4.1~git20080517-1)

AIUI that change was made after 2.6.25, so the problem with 2.6.24 is
probably different?
If I understand correctly, the change mentioned in that thread will
break X server versions < 1.5 on kernels > 2.6.25 (which sounds like it
would be a problem for lenny if we go for .26, but anyway).
The problem with 2.6.24 (xf86MapDomainMem() failure) looks like the one
that's been reported as bug #488669, for which help would be
appreciated. Knowing what kernel broke it would be a good start, I
guess.
Cheers,
