Modifying the GRUB bootup line to get rid of "rhgb" and substituting "3" (don't know if this is necessary?), gives me a (real fast!) text bootup. Logging into a regular user and then typing startx -- -nolisten tcp pops me into X/KDE no problem; but ONLY if the "load dri" is commented out. If it is present, then it locks up just like the graphical boot.
I am going to try the .411 kernel from testing/arjan tonight and see if this fixes anything... Something weird with how the X server is called from the boot sequence?
The 411 version kernel might not work at all for GUI. There is supposed to be a later version out, with the correction of the introduced bug. I believe the next kernel number is 419.

http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=707 is the bug report I have added to it. Add more useful data to it if you have it. I would love to see this fixed.
