Crash during *first* startup after update to 6.8.0 (i855 Chipset)

Hello,

I just upgraded to xorg 6.8.0 on my centrino notebook.
When I want to start "startx" the first time (after reboot), it starts X 
and before loading the XSESSION (tried both Xsession and kde-3.3.0) X 
crashes. At this time I see the graphic screen but cannot do anything. 
Switching to console is not possible ;(

The SSHD is still running and I can login over an other computer. "ps 
aux" says me that no X server is running.
In the ssh shell I can start the Xserver with "startx" again and it will 
run! After that, I can switch to the console on my laptop again. But at 
this time the console fonts are messed up. I can see that I am writing 
something but I can't read it.

If X is running one time after booting, I can start it as often I want 
to -> no crash.


dmesg prints out that after starting X the first time:

mtrr: base(0xb0020000) is not aligned on a size(0x300000) boundary

I attached the full dmesg output to this mail.

I hope anyone can help me. If you need some info (strace of something?) 
then ask me.
