I think that the bpo1 comes fro backports.org, right?

Today, for the first time in my life, I installed tuxracer (well,
actually, the same program, but the free version with other name) and it
froze my system as soon as I clicked "train" or something similar.
I don't play games and, thus, having 3D working for me isn't that
important (I also don't need programs for dealing with geometrical
modelling or chemical programs). I would, though, like to get things
working right, if possible.
The Magic Sysrq keys worked, though.

Wait a second: you mentioned that yours wasn't a dual-head, right? What
exactly do you mean by secondary screen? A second monitor on another
card?

I can't help here. All that I can say is that it hasn't migrated to
testing and, thus, I would (still) not upgrade to it.
Please, keep me posted on the progress you make.
