Booting with norhgb didn't change anything, but then I trie d "nox" and that got me a console session. After I logged in as sluser, I was able to start an X session with "startx" and everything seemed normal except that the time was off by 4 hours (ntpd wasn't running). This machine has a Radeon X1300 card - actually I think it's on the motherboard - and I've been using version 8.36 of the linux driver from t he Radeon website, with "fglrx" as the driver in my xorg.conf file.
