Weird. I have no idea why it'd fail there.It might not be... like I said, I have to power cycle after ~120 seconds because it just seems hung, so the log could be getting truncated. The ssh sessions into the machines also stop responding when startx is ran, so I _expect_ either X is going into a tight infinite loop, kills the networking stack and/or it is taking out the kernel, the only system response after startx is that pings return.[Ping data Before startx: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.052/0.053/0.056/0.009 ms after startx: rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.052/0.056/0.065/0.010 ms so clues are running out.]The attached log is the longest one I got today in vesa mode, I have gotten different lengths from 0Bytes up to the attached one, by running:`sync;startx&sync&sync&sync&sleep 1;sync`
Also (sorry, forgot to attach it to the last email) after reading several things today including [1] indicating that sometimes the intel chipsets make things interesting, so attached is a lspci that includes all the devices on the PCI bus of the laptop.
