None at the moment.  For reference, I have an ATI Rage 128 Pro TF.

The problem is reproducible with xdm - just put a non-existant
window manager in .xsession, try to login, then when it dies try to
C-A-F1 back to a console and it will fail.  However, if you have a
correct .xsession and you log in first time with no problems (or
use startx), you can switch back at any time.  It seems that when
restarting X due to a problem, it breaks.

Maybe to do with the agp0 driver?  Maybe to do with the recent X
4.2.1 upgrade?  I don't have any point of reference (I can't compare
with my previous XFree86.0.log as I don't have it anymore).
