Try disabling your sound card, so that sound drivers do not load
at all. Then try starting and stopping X. If that solves it,
then the sound drivers are potentially buggy.
Actually, I don't have sound enabled already because this computer
doesn't have a sound card. And when I tried compiling a new kernel I
didn't compile sound drivers. I turned them off.
Another common problem is APM. Disable APM in your BIOS, and
disable apmd from being loaded at OS boot time.
Same as above, I don't have it, disabled it, and did not compile it in
the customer kernel. Someone on another forum suggested it might be a
hardware issue and to see if there is an update to my BIOS. I am going
to try that first. Another thing I can try is to switch the hard drive
out with the Windows 2000 machine and try to load X that way... that
would definately tell if it's hardware.
If neither suggestion works, it could be an X bug possibly, or
perhaps something else.
