Hi,

I know I wasn't on the list for testing this release but I'm monitoring
this package.
I tested with the modeset=0 and it does indeed so far seem to improve
things for my bug 551387

I note that xv - video is unsupported now (see below) but I think I'd
prefer to live with that than the frequent/regular crashes that made the
other releases totally unusable.

I've only tested for a few minutes but without the modeset option/earlier
release it died as soon as I start up firefox before.

I guess some more testing will be required but an improvement so far.
