There are very few changes between lenny3 and lenny2. Can you try to
find out which one causes the problem?

You should first try reverting
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-video-ati.git;a=commitdiff;h=15536739b0e68e25dbd89d5d517680d855077fab;hp=2ca76841ecb89133d8897db1aa540219a565aebc

If so, that would be http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17254
