Xorg not starting fully on Thinkpad T21
Morning all.
I've got quite an intermittent problem with my laptop:
When I boot, sometimes it gets as far as starting GDM, and then the
screen goes blank as per the usual change from a text display to a
graphical one, but the grahical one doesn't appear - I'm left with a
blank screen that is definitely powered up.
ctrl-alt-F* doesn't get me anything viewable. It's not yet happened on
enough of a network for me to know whether the network's still up or see
if I can ssh in.
In general, powering it off then rebooting gets it working. It does work
more times than not, but I'm not sure of the ratio. Somewhere a bit
better than half successful, I'd imagine.
It's an IBM Thinkpad T21, with a Savage graphics chipset. I'm running
Debian 4 fully updated.
The xorg log is at:

And doesn't seem to contain any errors, but I don't really know what to
look for beyond EE and WW.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
