    For what it's worth, I have this VC problem on my SID box as well. It
    started after an apt-get dist-upgrade this weekend. However, before then I
    was running the system on 2.6 without this problem so it may not be
    related to the kernel. My suspicion is something in the ATI driver with
    Xfree86 4.3 is causing it but I have not had the chance to track it down
    far enough to make a bug report.

    Not much help, but at least your not alone ;). When and if I find a
    solution I'll post it to the list.
