[wplug] spontaneous X combustion?

[Bryon Gill]

Easier to help if you can tell us what video card you have and post the X log 
info from the point where you started X until that last line.

Did you recently do an up2date?  I know fc2 just did a major X.org upgrade, 
which meant I had to reinstall my nvidia drivers.
