G'day folks.
Recently I posted the description of a problem we noticed here shortly
after trying to upgrade a couple of machines (sorry, I've lost my original
posting, so I can't reproduce it).
Here is a synopsis of what I said:

Okay, the problem has been found and solved. As it turns out, an older
kernel had been put in place - one without the cgsix driver enabled.
I received only solutions from only two people (and I can't even thank
you properly as my mail has been lost). Unfortunately, both suggested
that we check the /dev/cg* files (which were correct) and the make-up
of the respective X11 startup scripts (which were identical).
Anyhow, thanks everybody.
