I've tested with 2.6.{9,10,11} Can you try to figure out where in between 2.6.8->2.6.9 things broke? Even just a fairly simple binary search on the nightly snapshots should get you pretty easily down to within one day or so.. Most people don't have tga hardware. I don't think even most alpha users have it, and I think it's unheard of outside of alpha. So I'm afraid that there's not a lot of people around who can debug it without having a very clear starting point..
