Have you tried disabling the framebuffer? I know that some of them (rivafb comes to mind) are horribly broken and do not work with X. > 2) SSH2 funkyness.

Are you sure that each is using the same protocols and support common ciphers and such? Enable some verbosity in your ssh client and see what comes up. Have you generated keys for both SSH1 and SSH2 on your woody box? This tripped me up once while I was stuck using an old, old version of OpenSSH on solaris to SSH back into my woody machine... -rob
