Brice, I just added the "testing" version of only xserver-xorg-core to
the snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ version of xorg. And
then booted into a blank screen. After downgrading xserver-xorg-core
back down to snapshot.debian.net/archive/2007/03/08/debian/ everything
worked again. It would appear the problem is indeed probably in
xserver-xorg-core and not the siliconmotion module.
