Monitor Blanking When Starting X; atombios stuck
Hello,
I have a system running Debian Testing. It was freshly installed from
the stable net-installer image then immediately upgraded to testing. I
then installed xfce4 and configured it to start from console as per
these[1] instructions. However, when I run `startx`, I get some output
from it (the usual xserver messages), but then the monitor goes blank.
Here's my kern.log from booting to the blank screen, then forcing a
reboot again after that.

The relevant portion is here in the event the paste disappears:
