Open your Xorg configuration in a text editor. (/etc/X11/xorg.conf)

In the "Device" section.

You'll see Driver "ATI" for x.org driver

Or

Driver "fglrx" for ATI binary driver.

I do not know what is causing it.

Which graphics card do you have? And which driver? The symptoms sound
much
like what I had with Etch, Nvidia 8600, Nvidia's closed driver - except
that
it happened immediately upon start of X. Often (but not always)
accompanied
with a kernel panic in the nvidia module.

I will try with my card on lenny, as soon as I get the time.
