I have a box that's been running X and Kde4 on 9-Stable successfully for ages. I tried a source upgrade to 10-Stable but couldn't get X to run properly. I then blew the old installation away and did a fresh install of 10-RC3. It has the same problem. I start HALD and DBUS and then start X (in various ways - see below). The box then dies - the screen goes black and the monitor says "no signal". I can't kill X with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, and I can't switch back to the console using Alt-F1. I can log in remotely via ssh and see that Xorg is using 100% CPU time. I can't kill the Xorg process (even with kill -9). All I can do is reboot. I've tried with both a monitor connected to the VGA port and a TV connected to the HDMI port - both the same. If I add "kdm4_enable=YES" to /etc/rc.conf, then that same hang happens soon after boot. The box is AMD64 with ATI Radeon RS690 X1250 IGP. Dmesg output is at http://menhennitt.com.au/starker/dmesg. The config file generated by "Xorg -configure" is at http://menhennitt.com.au/starker/xorg.conf.new and the log from running that configure is at http://menhennitt.com.au/starker/Xorg.0.log_configure. Running "X -config xorg.conf.new" as root produces the log file http://menhennitt.com.au/starker/Xorg.0.log_1. If I run startx as a non-root user, I successfully get a Vesa VGA session. The log file from that is at http://menhennitt.com.au/starker/Xorg.0.log. I've done a bit of googling and found a few people with similar problems, but no solution. Can anybody please give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance for any help, Graham
