On my laptop I had to comment out the part of the video card stanza in
XF86Config-4 that defines the BusID to get x to start.
I just stole this from the net somewhere, but comment out the busid like so
and you may have more luck.
Just an idea, but it worked for me on my inspiron 4000 with
Example:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Trident CyberBlade"
Driver "trident"
VendorName "Trident"
BoardName "Trident CyberBlade"
# BusID "PCI:1:00:0" ## <--- dont define busid
EndSection
