Tried more stuff:

* This version 1:6.7.196+git20071210-0ubuntu0tormod still has the bug
* Adding either a Disable "glx" or Disable "dri" or both to a Section "Modules" (and rebooting with each change to make sure) does not fix the bug (and I checked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to make sure the modules were really disabled)
* Took a picture of the problem on a plain vanilla X (of course this is after a change to TTY) this is best visible:
      You can see a bunch of horizontal lines on the monitor, these are basically moving up and down all the time, so I'm assuming
      its an issue where when we change to a text VT some vertical refresh rate register is changed incorrectly and never changed back.

Hope this helps.
