I think the cause of the problem is that there was just an xorg and
kernel update, this may have also updated the ATI driver, and as far i
understand it, due to KMS, you have to upgrade the kernel modules in
lockstep with the userspace bytes or unhappy things happen, like this.
(I have very little experience with ATI and mainline graphics drivers,
so I may be wrong! caveat emporium!)

If you still want to build your own kernel, build it off the updated
debian src, or build the kernel modules into there own package. Or if
you want to use a newer mainline, think about building the ati driver
as well ;)
