It locks pretty bad :( You will need to boot in rescue mode. Try a 
"dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" . After you're done just do "init 2" or "exit". 
If than doesn't work than remove /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm (or kdm/xdm). Now the "init 
2" will get you to a console and have more chances in debugging X (on the next 
reboot it will start only with a console). First you can try to start just 
xinit, maybe with some debugging options. man xinit and docs in 
/usr/share/doc/xserver-... will have more info on debugging and you can also 
check the log (/var/log/Xorg.0.log)

To make it start in graphic mode again you can either copy S99gdm from 
/etc/rc3.d/ or change default run-level in /etc/inittab to 3. Of course, i 
assume you haven't customized your run-levels
