I have a newly built drive with 5.2 fresh install (that I will be cloning shortly) in my DECtop and it is failing with X the same way the upgrade from 5.1 drive did (not too supprising there).
In 5.1 X worked. I could startx from init 3 and get into GNOME. Also VNC into the box and have a GNOME screen. With 5.2, I get a kernel panic. Well I guess it is a kernel panic because once I run startx from the console, my SSH session to the box from my notebook is frozen.

Try 16bit X instead of 24bit (replace the 24 in xorg w 16) and see if that helps ...
OK. I will try this shortly.
Did this work.
also, you can boot the older kernel from 5.1 and see if that helps.
I did try that on the system I upgraded from 5.1. No difference still paniced.
If it still panics then it does not seem to be a kernel module issue, but something else. That would be very strange.
I guess some kind of compile issue in xorg could do this, though not sure.
