Same thing with me. I took 2.4.0-test4 and compiled, everything went fine and computer booted, but after I quit X first time everything was very dark (not completely black!). I barely could see anything at the screen, but computer still worked fine. I restarted X (without any tricks) and quit it. Now it was totally black, but still responded to all user events... so I put 'shutdown -r now' and everything was fine after a moment :)
I have XFree 4.01 too, Asus V6600 (Geforce 256) with XFree 4.01 'nv' driver, Asus P3C-E (i820) motherboard and some misc stuff (isdn, sb live, aic-7850)... 3DFX DRM isn't compiled to kernel.
Could it be AGP or i820 issue?
