it's an old Intel video on Inspiron from 2003. I already uncommented
machdep.allowaperture=2, and when I type startx I get

May this is not the case but it might be possible to have many instances of the 
server ending with the same error.

Try killing all instances, and then try again.

If there are many instances, trying to start another one merely fails because 
there already exists /tmp/.X0-lock

From the bottom of the error message it seems it is a lock problem.

And then again may be this is not the case.

without even looking past the ring stall, that's an 845.

force XAA mode and you'll be ok. it's an intel driver bug.
