This might cause some issues...  You probably need to remove anything
fglrx-related before testing the radeon driver.

Cheers,

Ooops.  I didn't realise that was still there.  Removing it fixed my problem.
And I was so looking forward to helping out...  Thanks for the assistance!

  Please let me know if you need any more details on my hardware cofiguration.
  Unfortunately I am not in a position to reboot this computer a lot right now
  for testing different versions, because it is being used for long 
  simulations.
 
 If you get a chance, can you try any versions between 6.9.0 and 6.12.x
 or do a git bisect between 6.9.0 and some some broken release?  Also,
 did you do anything else like upgrade the amount of ram in the system?

I'm afraid I won't be able to do any rebooting untill these simulations finish,
which might be a while.

The xorg upgrade did not coincide with a hardware upgrade.  I did fix some
hardware a few days before, and subsequently ran memtest86+, which reported
no errors.  The machine has 6 Gb of ram, the motherboard is only a few months
old, and it has never had any problems with xorg before.

Some people have reported problems on systems with large amounts of
ram due to bad mtrr setup by the bios.

 I don't have any more information to add to the extensive test results from
 Jacek Politowski, except perhaps for my pretty generic xorg.conf (see 
 attachment).
 I am using unstable with a stock 2.6.29 kernel.  Downgrading to 6.9.0
 worked for me as well.

 I can confirm that the image on the screen with the broken driver is some 
 sort of
 mixup of what the screen looked like just before things broke.  At one point 
 during
 my downgrade things were half fixed and I got almost the entire original 
 image back.
 I could read most of the text in my terminals.  This happened even after a 
 soft reboot.

 Please let me know if you need any more details on my hardware cofiguration.
