It is possible that drm is waiting for resources, but I'm doubtful that
drm is the real problem.  It sounds like the screen is going black when
X attempts to start.  You could try disabling drm in your Xorg.conf and
see it that helps. (Option "DRI" "off" in the device section).  Do all
of the drm messages appear on the console before it hangs?  I'm most
suspicious of the acpi errors/warnings, but that isn't an area that I
have experience with.
