Dario, I just went though that with the radeonhd driver and removing xorg.conf 
and using the kdm3 (kde3) greeter is the only way X will start now on my 
laptop. I have tried both kdm and kdm3 on the dell GX280 box (with the intel 
card) and nothing works. X just will not run (starts, crashes, exits)

Like I've said before, I've worked through the wiki and tried both the "early 
start" and "late start" methods -- no help. I was hoping the strace of startx 
I posted with the bug report would help diagnose it. I'll go follow up there 
and see. Thanks for your help and if you think of anything else, let me know.

I'll try anything at this poing :p
