Let's say that you replied 6 months ago, but the initial report comes
from June 2006 :)

There's almost nothing new regarding X in testing (compared to
stable/Etch). The really new things are still in unstable, especially
xserver-xorg-video-nv 2.0.2 (and xserver-xorg-core 1.3.0 but it should
not help much for your problem).

Not that I know of.

Unfortunately, the submitter never replied to Michel's question,
especially his config and log. I will ping him again soon.
Also, note that the submitter of 370709 doesn't have a valid address
anymore. So you might alone to debug this bug now :(

For now, the best would be to try with xserver-xorg-video-nv 2.0.2 (the
one in unstable). If you can't upgrade to it because it brings lots of
dependencies (such a libc6 2.5), you might want to rebuild it. It should
be easy.
If the problem still appears, we will talk to upstream. I found a couple
possibly related bugs upstream:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6161
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3168
If it's the same problem that you are experiencing, we should ping them.
