Now with the new kernel compiled in, when I give startx, the screen just goes blank and I see disk access for few seconds and then everything halts. Do I have to tweak some settings for the X to run
If you're using a kernel later than 2.4.5 or something, it will not run with X4.0.x. You will either have to get X4.1, or get the kernel drm patch for X4.0.x. The patch is available from kernel.org in the 2.4 kernel directory.
I posted a lengthy description of this problem about two months ago.
