I've noticed if the primary X server is probing devices and the card is switched after the X server started but before it completed all detections. This is before it gets you to the login screen. It will freeze with a "service unavailable".

I wonder if we could get our hands/test the Dave Arlie's changes on X server to support hot-pluging.

I see two workarounds to this issue: Wait a certain time after the daemon starts to switch the card. Or wait until the display manager kicks in or the X server stops probing all devices.
