The sound is initialized (I can hear the startup sound) and I can login through SSH. The screen gets initalized every 3 to 4 times of startup but I can't decern a pattern.

Workaround: Add this to the Device section of xorg.conf: Option "BusType" "PCI" According to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_video_related_system_lockup: The problem of lockups or video corruption as a result of 3D rendering is [not] well-known/understood. There appears to be a bug in AGP on Thinkpads interacting with Savage graphics cards. For reference, there was a recent discussion of this problem on the Linux-Thinkpad Mailing List. If you are experiencing lockups related to 3D rendering (using DRI) and you are using an XOrg version more recent than 6.9/7.0, you may need to add one or both of the following lines to the Devices section of your xorg.conf file: Option "BusType" "PCI" Option "DmaMode" "None"
