I know this is ancient but being in the archives may help someone. It was a kernel problem. I made a new kernel from sources of about 8 hours ago and the problem has dissappeared from my home machine (have to wait until after the long weekend [- in Oz] to test the work machine). It seems that something in the May 29th kernel was causing problems for X.
