Yups I had done the same by downgrading and setting then in hold.

Hi
I am using a standard Debian kernel (linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae) but apparently no KMS, I suppose my graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 3200) does not support it.
I also ran into this bug on my last upgrade. I could solve it by manually downgrading xorg and some related packages using http://snapshot.debian.org/
Here's are the packages and versions that I used:
xserver-xorg-core 1.11.4-1
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 2.6.0-3+b1
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.5.0-2
xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.14.3-2
xserver-xorg-video-mach64 6.9.0-1+b1
xserver-xorg-video-r128 6.8.0-2
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 6.14.3-2
(xserver-xorg-video-radeon might be enough, if you use a xorg.conf-snipplet and not the auto detection.)
After downgrading the packages should, for now, be set on hold.
Kind regards,
Meike
