X was still alive... in an interruptable read. I had thought about Mesa
but didn't realize where i'd have to go to get sufficiently new code.
It's all moot at this point, anyway, as i sent my brand new HP back for
a refund. I was fine with working through the Linux problems, but not
the fact that the laptop itself emanated a slight burning insulation
odor when it was running.
Anyway, thanks for the help.

The second line is from the Mesa driver. You'll need current Mesa Git
for 3D acceleration.
Then it goes on initializing extensions and adding all sorts of devices
until it ends with the following:
[ 219.144] (II) RADEON(0): EDID vendor "LGD", prod id 842
[ 219.144] (II) RADEON(0): Printing DDC gathered Modelines:
[ 219.144] (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0 76.30 1366 1414
1446 1610 768 771 776 790 +hsync -vsync (47.4 kHz eP)
[ 219.144] (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1366x768"x0.0 50.87 1366 1414
1446 1610 768 771 776 790 +hsync -vsync (31.6 kHz e)
and there it hangs.
Is the X server process still alive at that point? If not, it probably
died due to an unresolved symbol, check its stderr output. Probably
easiest to do this from a remote shell.
