I rebooted in text mode and started X from command line. It starts GNOME and everything is fine. And if I kill X, the same thing happens again. None of Ctrl-Alt-Backspace/Ctrl-Alt-F1/Ctrl-Alt-Del will work. It totally hung and I have to restart everytime I kill X. I have a VIA/S3G VT8378 Unichrome Graphics card. Anyone with this problem ?

You need the X driver from unichrome.sf.net, and possibly the kernel patches
too if you want to use Xvmc/3D. X.org includes an out of date driver
