In my case, X dosn't work with 2.6.27, only with 2.6.26, except it
doesn't like the Windows MENU key and refuses to pass it to fvwm like
it used to.  Xorg 1.4 was fine, the upgrade to 1.5.2 broke some keys
which xsetkbmap fixed, ecept it doesn't pass MENU thru as it used to,
and booting in 2.6.27 borks X entirely:

    Fatal server error:
    Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs        for all framebuffer devices

It doesn't look like this is your problem, but maybe it is related.
