Tested the new Kernel 2.6.32-12: same as with 2.6.10: Xorg.0.log is written, but empty --- in all cases: booting with or without having booted windows before.

But there is one big change: I can boot into the rescue system (did not work with Kernel 2.6.32-{10,11}), then su to a user after that run "startx". This works. Keyboard is German, but no key-repeat and some other things I'd expect to work do not. Looks a lot like a race condition while starting X, gdm and background services leading to an endless loop or crash within X or gdm or even both (think it is X --- just because the logfile is created, but nothing written to it, while it is created and something written to it starting X from commandline).
