They are identical:
atte at ajstrup:~$ diff /etc/X11/xorg.conf /mnt/debian/etc/X11/xorg.conf

However, it seems that it's muse that's causing the problem. When I
start it x starts eating 50% processor. I'll try a compile-by-hand
later today, maybe that helps. Anyone knows of a bug or issue like this
with muse?
