Is "CL5446" short for "Cirrus Logic GD5446", by any chance? If so, it is
listed in the XFree6 card list with this info:
Cirrus Logic GD5446 (noname card) 1MB upg. to 2MB ...... XF86_SVGA
Aside from that, to help you, you'll need to tell us something abotu what
you've tried and how X fails. One good way would be to run startx in this
manner:
startx >/tmp/xerrors 2>&1
This will cause the error output to go to a file instead of to the (hidden)
screen. Depending on how often your system syncs, the info might even
survive a reboot.
If not, you'll need to do something more clever than rebooting. Can you
telnet into the host and kill the X process that way? Can you switch to
another virtual console and kill X from there?
If looking at this output doesn't tell you what the problem is, try posting
it here, along with a description of how the system fails (e.g., does it
hang with a black screen? the grainy pre-window manager X screen? does the
mouse pointer freeze or does it move? ... that kind of thing).
