Hi
I have a squeeze/sid on a laptop (sony vaio), and i had the same issue
after upgrading. I performed some tests and i found that:
- the problem seems to be related the 2.6.32-trunk kernel. if i boot with
the 2.6.30 anything works well.
- the problem affects only the laptop monitor. if i plug an external
monitor to the vga port, xorg start, but it works only on the external
monitor.
- i tried resetting the my xorg.conf file, with a basic one generated by
Xorg -config, but the result was the same.
- the laptop monitor dies at all, even if i restart the x server, i have
no more output on that monitor unless i reboot the whole system. Hovewer,
anything works well on the external monitor.
- when X dies, the network dies too if you're using network manager, so,
you can't access to the system anymore. This happened to me the first
time, and i had to reset the pc, then, i re-enabled the network
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces (disabling de-facto network
manager)
following there are informations extracted from the logs..
this is part of the Xorg.0.log when i start without an external monitor:

i noticed that the monitor on the LVDS1 output doesn't get detected with
the 2.6.32 kernel, and in the first case, the X server dies because it
can't find a screen.
hope that this may help...
