Yep, yep, disabling KMS works for me. Following,
Disabling Radeon KMS
http://tomlowshang.blogspot.com/2010/04/disabling-radeon-kms.html
I successfully get it disabled and startx didn't freeze any more.
However, after I enable gdm GUI booting, it freeze again.
The only thing I did was,
update-rc.d gdm defaults
to enable it again (it was removed with "update-rc.d -f gdm remove"
before), then reboot.

- KMS is required in order to run X (Gnome, KDE, etc).
- Since xf86-video-intel 2.10, using KMS is mandatory.
Hope that's only for intel chipset, 'cause I'm using ATI Radeon:
$ lspci | grep Radeon
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon
9200 SE] (rev 01)
I'm in dilemma here. What should I do?
