Comment 2 for bug 16873

I have some additional information.

What is happening is that X is trying to open /dev/dri/card0. For some weird
reason the open fails. (Giving an unknown error code 999 according to the
logs.) Instead of failing gracfully and not loading dri, it trys to go on from
there and nothing comes up.

I am attaching the log file, a list of the permissions on the device and a copy
of dmesg from that system.

I have tested the 8k stacks issue and it is not the cause of this problem.
