I noticed problems a few days back when I upgraded from
linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 (which worked) to linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64
which does not (-3 works mostly OK, though some opengl programs display
as black squares in place of windows which -5 has random flickering
pixels all over the screen and sometimes is completely black from boot,
though opengl works OK when it's displaying).

Might be worth trying a slightly older kernel in case it's just this
regresssion biting you.  I'm using a Mobility Radeon HD 3400 on a
Toshiba laptop.
