 I've got the same setup, so I thought I'd comment on my end of this. :)
Before using the option above, just getting in to X was tricky at best. It
would sometimes work, but in lower resolutions with lower refresh rates.
Using that option, X will always come up. I can't, however, exit from X.
With about a half-dozen tries, only once did X actually exit without
crashing. When it exited, the console was corrupted (scroll produced lines
that had already gone off screen long ago, the cursor was never on the line
text was being typed on.) Usually when exiting, the monitor goes in to
something similar to standby. If I can be of further assistance, just
holler! (heh)
