Don't know what causes it but on my Inpiron 1525n, I get an error like that.  
I then need to restartx and then it comes up and works fine until the next 
kernel update.  Then I have to do the same thing again.  My guess is that x is 
somehow started too soon in the boot sequence after a kernel update but I 
really don't know what the problem is or why re-starting x after the fact fixes 
it.  It must rewrite something somewhere but what and where, I don't know.
