Thanks for the update. It does sound like something in the KDE setup
(kwin?) was tickling the driver the wrong way. I'm cc-ing the Debian
KDE maintainers in case they have a live CD you can test, but
otherwise I don't see how to proceed in easily tracking this down
further. :/
Hence closing the bug. Please don't hesitate to write once you are
able to make it happen again.
