This is becoming a FAQ, you have a Voodoo 3 Voodoo4 or a Voodoo 5, and you have a line like 'Load "dri"' in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I am currently working on fixing the drivers, but it takes time.

I had exactly same problems, but was able to log in via ssh, and reboot (killing X didn't help, because keyboard wasn't responding and I couldn't switch to console).

Re: lockup when starting X
I also had the same problem (with xfs not being installed...I had it installed in the 3.x X windows) which resulted in X freezing on startup...I've been GUIless since the woody 4.x rollout. I'm now installing the font server. Just wanted to acclaim that Jelmer is NOT the only one. Btw, there are packaging problems, I had to go back and install utils as well (at least) to get things going minimally. I'm so glad to be in X again. Danny Barron
