That fixed it. Thanks! I guess I should have spotted that in "bugs" somewhere, somehow... > A bug introduced in build 35 causes some machines to lock up with > that module in place - so far it had only been seen on Ferrari 4000 > laptops with Radeon x700 graphics, but yours may also be affected. It also seems to apply to my "white box" Intel D945GCZ + ATI Radeon x600 PCI-express (all-in-wonder). (for posterity) I renamed the offending lib, and ran kdmconfig. Per the instructions that kdmconfig generates when Xorg is selected: I ran Xorg -configure , moved /xorg.conf.new to /usr/X11/xorg.conf, rebooted, and Bob's your uncle. The ChipID trick is no longer necessary for the x600. It seems to work fine with an unmodified xorg.conf - so I could probably have skipped generating xorg.conf and left it for auto generation.
