I am also having this problem on my laptop. The system is a Uniwill 223ii00 with 855GM graphics chip. Driver worked perfectly in Breezy. After Dapper dist-upgrade, X showed a black screen after started and locked the console completely. I tried booting former Kernel (2.6.12-10) and was able to start X, but was presented with a mostly black screen in KDM, and extreme screen corruption upon loading the KDE desktop (missing pixmaps, non updating sections of the display, etc). My Xorg.0.log is nearly identical to the ones posted here, but I can post it if it may be useful. I am currently having to resort to VESA drivers to have a GUI. Is there any word on an upcoming fix for this? Is anyone working on it?
