Since I upgraded to linux kernel 2.6.24-24, I can't start Gnome using
that kernel version. The only way is to start the 2.6.24-23 kernel, then
everything works as usual. In 2.6.24-24, after I enter my username and
password, I just see a white screen and the mouse pointer.
Interestingly, I can switch to the other desktops using
Ctrl+Alt+Right/Left, but all those desktops are just white screens. When
I kill the X Server, I see my background image for about half of a
second and then I can log in again.

That's my graphics card:

michael ~$ lspci | grep "VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 video device [Radeon HD 2400 PRO]
