That is what I do, I start X by typing startx from level 3.  It was working fine prior to these updates.  

The 2.6.27* kernels 186,205 and now 208 are not working for me with the wireless internet USB modem that I have.  I run 2.6.26rc kernel and that is the only way I can get the updates.  I will try to find something relevant in Xorg logs and post back.  I type startx and X hangs and does not bring up either KDE or GNOME and CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE do not work and I have to manually powerdown the machien by pressing and holding power button :(

Thanks,
