I'm curious how the file generated by "X -configure" was overwritten after a
reboot. Does "X -configure" by default generate an ephemeral configuration
xorg.conf file?

Thanks Risto & Dave,
I do have NoAccel true in xorg.conf,
but checking for the auto-dim and screensaver as possible problems are both
also good tips.
I also meant to say in my follow up, X -configure [not "config"], created a
file
that temporarily worked for me, but then the same issue came back after a
reboot.

I remember having this issue on an old PowerBook G4 15” (which I no longer
have). It was related to the screensaver starting. The screensaver would
start but instead of displaying the graphics, it would black-out the screen.
Neither keypress nor mouse movement would return to the desktop. I
recommend
removing your screensaver. Additionally, try disabling the
auto-dim/auto-off
for the display.

Is there any reason why X would start normally,
but then a few hours later, crash with the same old problem?
