Man, I'm _so_ glad you posted that.  I couldn't get X running on a 2.6
kernel (on my old laptop) for love nor money, and didn't have time to 
spend doing hours of diagnosis, and so retreated to 2.4, pending having
time to look into it.

I'm sorry to not have anything useful to say about Ashleigh's situation,
but concur that relevant clues may be findable in the logs.
