With 2.0.0-5, the screen does not "melt" anymore, but it is not quite OK yet: the screen stays black, apart from the pointer (which changes shape appropriately when one moves over an otherwise invisible xterm). It sounds very similar to Bug#430085, and I'll investigate solutions that I think I saw elsewhere. However, for now, it would seem that bug 420732 could be closed again. All best wishes, Marten p.s. I really should experiment more, but let me mention that the Xorg.0.log file has the following errors; if this immediately tells you what the problem is, please let me know!
