The only way to tell if this is a bug in sid or a dying graphics card,
would be to try again with the old driver (maybe with a knoppix cd or
similar that was known to work before). I recently had similar problems
when my display started to flicker whenever a projector was attached to
the notebook. I guess in my case it is a problem with dying hardware,
since the problem is independent of the OS that I boot.
Good luck,
