What I meant to ask is if you can reproduce the old problem, for
example by downgrading the kernel using a version from
http://snapshot.debian.org/ or by putting some appropriate incantation
in xorg.conf.  If you can't, then I'm fine with just closing this and
letting it remain a mystery for now.

What is your current kernel version?  (/proc/version should say, in
parentheses after the word "Debian".)  What other upgrades happened
between the non-working state and the working state?  (/var/log/dpkg.log*
or the aptitude or APT logs might help in determining that.)

I am using the fbdev driver now and have "direct rendering: yes".  See
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo for what this means.

The easiest way to see what xorg video driver you are using is probably

        grep _drv /var/log/Xorg.0.log

If you can reproduce this new problem, then a report would be valuable
(against xserver-xorg-video-nouveau or xserver-xorg-video-fbdev to
start, presumably).

Thanks,
Jonathan
