I did see that, yes.

I'm not using any "test" drivers, that I'm aware of.  My video card is an
Nvidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400.

For what it's worth, I'm (finally) looking at my my Xorg.0.log and
Xorg.0.log.old.

Xorg.0.log.old ends with:

(II) Loader running on linux
(++) using VT number 7


Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call

While Xorg.0.log, which is created one minute later (after running init 3
; init 5) runs successful.

Might be some sort of timing issue...but I can't imagine what might be
causing such a time-out.
