It's intermittent. It looks like more recent kernels have a tendency
to trigger it more easily - in fact I just happened to have another
occurrence, this time without even loading the acx driver, just

1. boot
2. login as non-root
3. startx

but it works most times.

I lied however - the keyboard is _not_ dead, despite not lighting
the CapsLock led, and I can Alt-SysRQ-<x>.

Luckily, I have both the current working Xorg.0.log and the one
coming from the hang. I'm attaching both, and my xorg.conf.

Thanks :)
