Quax, you're correct, I miss-read it as 67. As for blacklisting, I never tried it myself untill now and it really doesn't seem to work with video drivers. although a friend seems to have managed with a different OS. I just uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-sis, this also removes xserver-xorg-video-all which is just a meta package, and worked from there.
