Hi, 

I got the same problem after upgrading of unstable.

I checked the Xorg.log and found something like the following:

[  1037.275] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so failed
(/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory)

Following the above error message, I found there the  dri folder is in the
/usr/lib/ but not in the /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
So I copied dri folder into x86_64-linux-gnu folder and problem was solved.

I am not sure whether it works for you case, but this is apparently a bug from
recent unstable upgrade.

Best,
