	Ian,

	You still might be able to help Bruno and I. For both of us
	the server croaks right after the following line is written
	to the log.

 > (==) MGA(1): Write-combining range (0xf5000000,0x4000) was already clear

 	Could you please share your full log file so we can see what
	operation might be coming next?

	Either of the following commands should enable a ton of status
	messages:

		startx -- -verbose 40 |& tee xfree86.log
	
	Or, if you run as root:

		startx -- -logverbose 40
	
	In the latter case the log results will be in
	/var/run/XFree86.#.log.

		Thanks,

		   Scott
