 I have been having major issues with XFree86 recently. It seems to just
 completely halt the machine hard whenever I try starting it. If I run
 it from a remote terminal with -verbose all the way up, it seems to halt
 at the section just after it says it's loading the RENDER module. I was
 wondering if anyone else knew of or has the same problem. Basically,
 it is a typical Athlon system running a Radeon DDR 32MB card, but the
 server even crashes if I force the vga driver instead. If I run Xvfb, it
 seems to work fine. Thew only real odd thing about my system is that I am
 using a USB keyboard and mouse instead of their AT,PS/2 counterparts.

If DRI is enabled in your XF86Config, try commenting out 'Section DRI'
and start XFree again.

If it fixes the crash, I bet you are using the DRI kernel module
stuff (port drm-kmod). I'm using it for a Radeon card, and I need
to recompile/reinstall it almost every time I update my kernel to
avoid crashes when starting XFree.

Yeah, I rememver that. I think it is the USB though, it crashes right at the
point where it attempts to attach Input devs.

That's what I suspected. I may try setting up the serial console on
that box and see what I can find.
