X cannot start under kernel 2.6.3
Since kernel 2.6.3 has recently become available to testing, I installed it
and booted. The kernel was unable to startup gdm, and I also could not
"startx". The 2.4 kernels do not appear to have this problem. The kernel log
complains about errors with XFree86, so that is why I am submitting it under
this package.

I guess, you don't have /dev/psaux available on your system.
(maybe due to the new kernel + devfs ...)
Please check, if there's /dev/misc/psaux.
if true, then do a:
ln -s /dev/misc/psaux /dev/psaux
and see if X works again.
