Did you mean squeeze instead of lenny? At least this information suggests that you use squeeze: >-- System Information: >Debian Release: 6.0 > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (500, 'testing') >> the problem.

If you can point me to a way to >> pinpoint the problem, I would be glad to do so. Some things to try: 1. Try to reproduce the problem with a free driver, e.g. nv or nouveau instead the the non-free nvidia driver. In /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the Driver "nvidia" line to "nv" or "nouveau" and reboot (or stop X, rmmod nvidia, start X, but a reboot is probably better to create a clean (and reproducible) environment). Or just move xorg.conf away and reboot, X autoconfiguration is advanced enough to not need a xorg.conf for a default setup with free drivers. Ensure the nvidia kernel module is not loaded (will be autoloaded if listed in /etc/modules) lsmod | grep nvidia should list nothing (test this after X has been started). 2. If the problem seems to be related to nvidia, please try the driver currently in experimental, it may have been fixed by upstream inbetween. 3. Also test a minimal xorg.conf for the nvidia driver as described in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian - eventually some of the options in your xorg.conf (which seems to originate from some time ago) are problematic nowadays.
