Modifying the GRUB bootup line to get rid of "rhgb" and substituting
"3" (don't know if this is necessary?), gives me a (real fast!) text
bootup.
Logging into a regular user and then typing startx -- -nolisten tcp pops me
into X/KDE no problem; but ONLY if the "load dri" is commented out. If it is
present, then it locks up just like the graphical boot.
I am going to try the .411 kernel from testing/arjan tonight and see if this
fixes anything... Something weird with how the X server is called from the
boot sequence?
The 411 version kernel might not work at all for GUI. There is supposed
to be a later version out, with the correction of the introduced bug. I
believe the next kernel number is 419.
