My video card is Mobility X1600 256 MB GDDR3.

disable kms as written in our wiki, your card is not supported in kernel drm module/xorg ddx driver. then it should work again like before.

His card is very much supported. He must wait for Mesa 7.6.

sorry. new Xorg+mesa is in testing. either stay with non kms and extra or upgrade to testing with the risk of reported massive 3d drawbacks.
