2.6.7-rc3: another strange bug(?)

Hi,

I've installed 2.6.7-rc3, and it seems to work quite fine. However
something strange happened after a few hours of uptime: pbbuttonsd had
dimmed the display, I came back on the laptop (iBook G4), moved the
trackpad, and when the display came back it was all garbled - as when
UseFBDev isn't used in X. It's ok after a reboot...

I'll let you know if this happens again.

again; Happened after ~ 1 day of uptime. Restarting X or switching vts
doesn't help. It started to appear with the rc2 -> rc3 patch...

I'm pretty much clueless about this one :-(
I'll be on holidays for a week (yay!) starting about now, but will
occasionnaly check my mail and could try patches if it helps.
