I have the same experience with my T-43, but only when there is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf present. If I just start X without configuration, everything's fine and dandy. With configuration, ANY configuration (I had to build some to work with external monitor, with presentation projector, that sort of thing), I get exactly the symptoms you describe. It's been like that since I got the machine in the beginning of August. It's been running moderately recent -current (never older than a month or so). I did not got around reporting this. So, just for the sake of it: move /etc/X11/xorg.conf out of the way, sync and wait, do your reboot magic, then see whether it works. \Anton. -- We're going for 'working' here.
