The screen appears to lock and pressing CTRL-ALT-F1 (for a terminal) reboots the machine. This is running on an HP 6735s laptop and everything worked prior to 8-12-4.

To eliminate this I compiled my own kernel with that disabled (it's enabled in the default kernel) but the new kernel bugs out on this machine. I guess another piece of hardware needs the legacy PCI stuff.

Hello,

no it is working with the Lenny amd64 Kernel, I also have two machines
with the same constelation.

Which card are you using? Which kernel module is loaded?
What says dmesg, modinfo fglrx and dpkg -l|grep fglrx?

Anyway this is not a RC bug, if just 3D accerlation does not work, so on
I am downgrading first.
