I think you're having a problem with hotplug. I have the same
problem. The problem is that hotplug automatically loads a framebuffer
driver for your video card, which apparently doesn't work very
well.
The solution is to add the name of your framebuffer module to
/etc/hotplug/blacklist. I can also add 'Option "UseFBDev"' to the
device section in my XF86Config to get it to work, but that might not
work for you.
There's already a bug filed, #238321. In fact, I joined this list
today because I intended to ask if anyone else was having this
problem, as I was told that it was just my hardware/driver that was
broken.
