I recently spent an afternoon on a major dist-upgrade on my daughter's computer. It is running Sid with 2.6.15, latest nvidia driver, xorg from Sid. After the dist-upgrade and installation of newest nvidia, I could not get into KDE from kdm - determined from debian-kde that the problem was a missing Xsession file, recommended fix was to rename Xsession-xfree86 (or similar) to Xsession - after that, most things seem to work.
However: apps that request fullscreen video in non-native resolution (such as pp-racer, or Tuxmath with fullscreen, both of which use SDL) get a bizarre display, somewhat like a widescreen DVD playing on a fullscreen TV, along with a moving box saying "Input Not Supported". The same happens if I change resolution using Ctr-Alt-'+'. This did not happen before the upgrade. I have tried changing to the vesa or nv drivers with no difference. I wondered if somehow X is now requesting too high a refresh rate, but dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg no longer gives me the option to select resolutions and refresh rates. My other computer is also running all the latest Sid with a flat panel monitor and the nvidia driver, and it does not have this problems. Any hints would be appreciated.
