The attached log does not indicate any input devices. So either it is hanging just before it reaches that stage or hald and dbus are not running, or at least have not had adequate time to finish initializing. X -configure is the preferred way to generate a config these days. xf86config is going away, it may already be gone in server 1.6, but I'm sure it is already gone in master. The I915 should be fine, though the configless log seems a bit strange. I'll should have access to a 915gm based dell this weekend to check that. If the above is of no help, you could try to ssh in from another machine and see if you can tell what is going on, or better yet attach to the Xorg process with gdb and get a backtrace. robert. > The computer is an HP dv1000 with product number dv1331se.
