Thanks for the pointer.

It is an Asus A8M2N-LA, see

Yes, it has a 6150 LE which is not used as I have a 7600 PCIE
card, same problem as in the threads on install/xwindow-discuss.
Is there a bug filed yet? If not, can you file one, otherwise I
will only be able to do so tomorrow?
There are already three users affected, the chipset is quite
common and its a regression, this should recieve some attention
before the release.
