Have you tried a generic video drive to see if the problem is really related to video/kernel? Whenever the video was going crazy because kernel modules/settings/xorg and driver change, I just switch to VESA and see if it works as it should. Then I can blame video drivers. VESA and no xorg.conf was my way of testing it. -- Daniel da Veiga
