Please also include pcidump -vv output Can you look if you get something in /var/log/Xorg.0.log after the reboot? if not, can you set up a serial console, log in as root through it and run "script Xorg -verbose 4" and send the typescript here ? Also, try using the "Vesa" driver xorg.conf. It should work, as I suspect the breakage is in the xf86-video-chips driver. -- Matthieu Herrb
