xorg on my Thinkpad X24 has been completely broken with the gutsy upgrade. I
cannot even switch to a virtual terminal with Alt+Ctrl+F1 and back to X
anymore.

Entering the console is fine and I can restart X or more precisely gdm from
there to get back into X, but if I just use Alt+Ctrl+F7 the machine locks up
completely and cannot even be ping'd anymore. I have to shut it down hard by
pressing the power key for about 5 seconds. As the machine crashes, there is no
way that I know of on how to collect relevant information or such things from
logs.

I had wondered if possibly my xorg.conf was faulty. But starting X without
xorg.conf produces the same behaviour.
