1. I have an S3Virage that incurred similar issues. I have backed up all my filesystems, freed up the space, and installed a fresh Lenny with good results so far. Hopefully I will not have time to debug further but if I do, I will follow-up on d-u. 2. I am satisfied the graphics hardware is still functional. I am not sure whether the issue is in the 2.6.32 kernel or Xorg. I do know 2.6.32 breaks my old SCSI support! Sid has finally forced me to return to the good old days. And my Lenny install was not a piece of cake for this experienced sysadmin. "I KNOW engineers--they LOVE to change things!" --Leonard McCoy, M.D. -- May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
