It is not, alas, a solution in the short run, either.
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
does not get me back to an X login, just the "black screen of death".
I removed xdm from the initialization process.
Now, following a reboot, I can issue startx and X will start.
I could also run /etc/init.d/xdm start and get a graphical login.
However, if I ever log out of X I again have to reboot to get back in.
Could the video chip [?] (I have an Intel D845GBV M/B and am
using the onboard video) require some sort of reset?
