Bug#679577: reproducible; makes driver ver 302 unusable for me

[Andreas Schneider]

same here. According to the PTS, it appears as if version 302.17-3 is
about to be migrated to testing. If this is the case, then this would
mean that weezy is unusable for me.

Some extra info:

I can ssh into the machine and stop the display manager. That way I
don't have to reboot, but the usefulness of this workaround is of
course very limited.

After reboot this is in Xorg.0.log.old:
