severity 604096 normal
thanks
Hi Brent,
lowering severity since that's only happening on a quite particular
setup.

This seems to be a duplicate of #601341. I'll keep this one open
against an X package (though I could reassign, merge, and affects
instead).

You could try removing all xserver-xorg-video-* packages, and only
keep xserver-xorg-video-{fbdev,vesa}. This way, you might get a
functional X until the kernel bug is fixed.
