Thanks, Jon.
I did that yesterday already and no difference made.
When booting in to run level 3, log in as either a non privaliged user, or as
root and running "startx", if X still crashes you should get some
output in the
terminal.
Also look through the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log, as that will have some more
information that may help us to help you.
