1. Make sure you have left a virtual terminal without a running getty
   process (ie at least one /dev/ttyCx entry marked 'off' in
   /etc/ttys). 

2. Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for any warning (WW) or error (EE)
   message that make give a hint. 

3. Try the "NoAccel" option in the "Device" section of your XF86Config
   file

4. With Xfree86 4, try the various "XaaNo..." options in the "Device"
   section of your XF86Config. Here's a list on possible options:

   XaaNoPixmapCache
   XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect
   XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill
   XaaNoCPUToScreenColorExpandFill
   XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillRect
   XaaNoColor8x8PatternFillTrap
   XaaNoDashedBresenhamLine
   XaaNoDashedTwoPointLine
   XaaNoImageWriteRect
   XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillRect
   XaaNoMono8x8PatternFillTrap
   XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps
   XaaNoScanlineCPUToScreenColorExpandFill
   XaaNoScanlineImageWriteRect
   XaaNoScreenToScreenColorExpandFill
   XaaNoScreenToScreenCopy
   XaaNoSolidBresenhamLine
   XaaNoSolidFillRect
   XaaNoSolidFillTrap
   XaaNoSolidHorVertLine
   XaaNoSolidTwoPointLine
