Subject: startx results in a blank screen

Hello; I've compiled the latest git 2.6.26-rc2-**  and really like
what I see and feel(heat and noise) the problem I have is I'm forced
to use
 3rd party video drivers for dri : - (
 So with this in mind I'm trying to compile my video card module, and
am confused is to as or why startx results in a blank screen!!
 I've reverted drm and agpgart, and also tried to convert the video
module to use drm_minor(drmP.h), but still the same results,
 Where in the kernel might I find some useful info on why startx
results with a blank screen?
 looking at Xorg.0.log I'm seeing a stop at drmGetBusid''
 regards;
