Xorg.log when my server crashed and locked up the system

As soon as I run startx, the display gets borked and the system locks up. Everything works fine when I run xorg-server-1.3!

Here's the versions of the relevant packages when the system crashes:

    Kernel: 2.6.24-gentoo-r3
    mesa-7.0.2
    dbus-1.1.20
    xf86-video-i810-2.1.1 (also crashes with 2.2.x, and git sources)

I tried disabling acceleration / etc, but still get the above lock up. And of course everything works fine with the 1.3 server.

With some tweaking I found that this was the problem with the linuxwacom drivers. It's been fixed in the linuxwacom-0.7.9. Will file a bug report with my distribution to add this as a dependency.
