Dear Justin
pkg_delete wouldn't let me :(, still required by modular-xorg-drivers-1.4
It seems a shame that this is stopping me using DragonFly BSD.
If I were to reinstall version 3.2 (which had X working), could I
investigate this problem while still being able to use the OS? Could I
run 3.2 and try to switch in the newer modular-xorg (and switch it out
again if it doesn't work)?
Thanks for your patience on this

I don't see anything in the log that shows an error - it just dies. I
don't know what's causing it. As for switching out the driver:
pkg_delete xf86-video-intel
and then
pkg_add -r
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-3.2/pkgsrc-2012Q3/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz
Would remove the newer driver and add back the old intel video driver.
I'm not 100% sure this will work; pkgsrc might complain about the old
diver having version dependencies that aren't met by the other
software.
If it doesn't help, you can repeat those steps but add this newer
version for 3.4 back in, with a pkg_add -r :

Dear Justin
Thanks for your help.
2: If switching to the vesa driver is just
$ diff xorg.conf.intel xorg.conf.vesa
69c69
< Driver "intel"
---
> Driver "vesa"
and
# Xorg -config xorg.conf.vesa
Then that was worse: the crash was faster, and the error log was longer.
config and log here:

1: I downloaded the i386 tarball, and I see
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-intel. Is there a man page or a tutorial that
will explain how I should delete the existing driver and install the old
one? For the last five years my main machine has been a mac.
Thanks

I've got an similar problem on a thinkpad X30 with Intel's i830 Chipset

On DragonFly 3.2.2 X has worked fine.
It's sounding like there's something in x11/xf86-video-intel, or at
least that seems to be the common thread.
You could:
1: Delete the existing driver and install the old one and see what that
does.
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/x86_64/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz
http://avalon.dragonflybsd.org/packages/i386/DragonFly-3.2/stable/All/xf86-video-intel-2.7.1nb6.tgz
(pick the appropriate link for your architecture, 32 or 64 bit)
or, 2:
Switch to the vesa driver in xorg.conf and see if the problem goes
away (probably an easier test.)
If the problem goes away when you switch to vesa, it's the driver. If
it goes away when you switch to the older version of the driver, it's
the current version of the driver. If it doesn't go away, I'm not
sure...
