Oh ... did I mention ... X isn't working.
Hmpf. OK, try /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg*/changelog* . Or ask your
package manager.

Since X is stuck in a loop, I cannot switch the console. I know it is
VT 10. But it's on VT 10 and the screen is black. It appears that X
goes into a CPU loop sometime after it switches console and starts to
change the video mode. It never finishes. I let the loop run for 2
hours and it's not getting out in any reasonable time frame.
I can SSH in from another computer (that has the same video card but is
running Slackware 11.0 with Xorg 6.9.0 and working OK). Doing strace
shows no syscalls being made or signals being handled by the X process.
It pegs the CPU to 100% (one CPU core out of a pair of dual cores).
OK, after you kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace check that file. It's hung
on some driver. Might want to google your video card and the last thing
in the xorg log.
