Here is your chance to get back into X development! :) Seriously, having the hardware at hand is a huge advantage. Meanwhile I have found a similar bug report here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546836 where it appears to be a regression since the old XFree86 server. I have a feeling some of these regressions boil down to mode calculation being done differently. Maybe the card is driving your monitor out of range? Did you already try other screen resolutions and refresh frequencies? You can use "xrandr --output default --mode 0xXX" where you can find XX in the xrandr --verbose listing. Does your screen come back when switching to a virtual console?
