On system boot X (and gdm) will start just fine. And on a first look the GUI seems faster, glxgears reports 1500 fps, mplayer plays better and the temp lower. I get a distinct issue, though.
Logging out of Xfce will stop X, but then gdm will fail to re-load X. It will complain of some "ddm" module already built-in. Worse is that then the kernel somewhat crashes, and will not react if I send a halt/reboot command from a root terminal. It will say that it sent the signal, but the shutdown does not complete and the system hangs, meaning that I have to resort to using the hard-halt via the power button. Rebooting/Halting from Xfce works as expected (and it didn't previously with the default drivers). Any ideas on how to tackle these errors?
