Bug#570766: System hangs on X startup (855GM, KMS disabled)

[Richard Kojedzinszky <krichy@cflinux.hu>]

Dear Cyril,

I've installed linux-image-2.6.32-2-686 from sid, upgraded libdrm2 and 
libdrm-intel1 packages, but unfortunately nothing changed. When I start X, 
the whole machine stops responding.

Regards,

Kojedzinszky Richard
