Yeap, that did the trick, after reverting back to 1:2.1.3-3 I got X
running as it was before, with no problems...  Somehow 1:2.1.3-4 is
crashed, at least for this savage card under this Toshiba laptop...

So what's next?

BTW, I'll have to see how to prevent this package update on aptitude,
so if someone can enlighten me that'd be great....

Thanks,
