The main difference with 570-1 is that -2 was, mistakenly, built
against the version of libdrm2 in experimental. Since you were able to
install -2 and all the other .debs which depend on experimental's
libdrm2, could you please tell me what other packages you installed
from experimental?

Oh crap, I in my box don't get mouse cursor in 596 without the change
that I applied to 596+suggestedchange.

It might be possible that I will have to rebuild all the packages with
unstable's libdrm2 and ask you to test a couple of them, just in case
(that's what happens when experimental is used); hope you don't mind.
