I can confirm this behaviour on 2.6.33-2-amd64 from experimental.  I did not
test KMS on 2.6.32 yet, though.  Also Z61m, also X1400.  Screen decays
(without using OpenGL at all!) pretty much randomly but quickly after startup
with a simple Gnome session (with metacity, not mutter or something else
compositing-ish).  It looks that the screen refresh is totally missing after
that lockup.  Without KMS, X is working correctly.
