I absolutely confirm this bug. I posted some infos about this bug here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11617
But I was probably wrong about "xorg starts correctly" as it doesn't start and it behaves like Timo described (100% CPU).

So I correct my previous statement and re-post my infos (as attachments seem corrupted in the other bug).

Computer:
Toshiba 1800-100 and Trident Ai1 (for
more info see the attached X org log and dmesg).

Not-working Distributions tested:
- Ubuntu 7.10 - Xorg 7.2
- Debian unstable - Xorg 7.3
- Fedora 7 - Xorg 7.2
Working distros:
- Debian 4.0 - Xorg 7.1
- a lot of other distros with Xorg <= 7.1

Other reports:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=587668

Workaround:
Add Option "NoDDC" in the "Device" section of xorg.conf

Bugs probably related (or duplicates):

Working combinations of xorg.conf:
driver trident + option noddc
Not working combinations:
driver trident without option noddc
driver vesa + option noddc

Going to attach some logs.
