Bug +64853 may very well be a duplicate. Before I filed it, I read this bug report and saw the framebuffer workaround, which did not work for me.

I saw a thread in the German Gentoo forum which seems to describe the same problem:

The last comment says that after the mga driver was updated to 1.4.2, the problem was resolved. So I forced xserver-xorg-video-mga-1.4.2 from the Debian unstable repositories onto my Edgy installation, and X11 started without problems. I guess the DRI fix mentioned here

did it.
