Severity: grave

X is unusable since an upgrade to 1:6.7.197-1. X server seems to start
correctly but screen remain black and CPU is to 100% to Xorg process. It
is impossible to kill X with Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace.

Please try xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.7.198~git20071223.ad3325f6-1 from experimental, it fixes several problems with the one in unstable.

If it does not help, you can try adding the following option to the Device section of your xorg.conf:
   Option "BusType" "PCI"
(some AGP changes might have broken the support for some boards)
