Hi :)

Just to add what you have said below....based on my own experience
(which is the issue is somewhat similar...but not strongly similar)

In my case, this is happen when I used Fedora 7 (or 9, couldn't recall
perfectly) plus manually compiled 2.6.3{1,2}.

Sometimes, X could start....in other occasions, it couldn't. I do this
by simply entering run level 3 (console text mode, full networking)
then executed "startx". But using stock kernel, it never happened.

X log didn't reveal anything suspicious. But eventually I came to raw
guess that  it was due to DRI incompatibility between the X user space
part versus kernel space.
