(Not so) funny problems with xorg-7.4 autodetection

[Rick Voland]

I, too, am having trouble with autodetection with xorg-7.4.

After I type "startx", I see the usual blank, then text, then blank, but
X stops at a blank screen.  It does not respond to cntl-alt-backspace,
and only sometimes responds to the power-off button.

I attach a tar file that contains output from dmesg, pciconf,
xorgconfig, and Xorg.0.log.

The computer is an HP dv1000 with product number dv1331se.  It has the
GM915 video chip and 1 GB of RAM.

I used no xorg.conf configuration file for xorg-7.3.x because X
autodetected chip, resolution, and 24-bit color just fine.

Thanks,
