Re: Strange X phenomen since upgrade to X-org

I recently upgraded a production system from sarge to etch and for the
most part there were no real surprises. [ Congrats to the developers] I
did run into a thorny problem that I am unable to figure out. When I
switch from the xserver to the console screen (ctrl-alt-F1) all is OK,
however when I try to switch back to the Xsever screen (ctrl-alt-F7) it is
always (100% of the time) unreadable. The screen seems to be made up of 4
to 6 overlaping images that are vertically more narrow than normal. This
is my first use of xorg and other than that it works OK. I can correct
this by restarting the xserver. Due to my lack of experience with xorg I
need a little help. Thanks!!!

Are there any errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? The errors are usually prefixed
by (EE).
