The Xorg log does not have any (EE) entries and running -v most on the frontend does not turn up anything except that the mythweather jobs don't start like they normally would.

I'm also having some odd symptoms that show up with mythtv, and they
sound a bit like this.  However in my case, it's clear that it's all
really some sort of OpenGL problem, because glxgears gets about 1.0fps.
 I know glxgears isn't really a benchmark, but it *is* a buglight, and
when hardware rendering becomes slower than software, something is
really wrong.

Only thing is, my problem shows up when booting to 2.6.29 - back to
2.6.28 and all is well.  I haven't gotten around to trying 2.6.30 on
that system, yet.
