I had the same problem with my graphic card .... ati radeon 8500
It was working during several month and suddenly, I had several freezes at X launch ... You can kill some files relating to the X server in /var directory.
But to solve the problem, I changed the card drivers ( drivers coming from ati) and since, I never got problem like this.
Cheers ..

Objet : [gentoo-user] problem with X locking up
I got home from work this morning (I work nights), to find my machine
locked up. This also happened the day before last. I could not switch
to any of the terminals (via ctrl-alt-F1, etc). I was able to login via
ssh from another pc, however. After running top, I noticed X was using
99% cpu. Sending X the SIGKILL signal was the only way I could get back
into the box w/o rebooting. I'm kind of awestruck because I've used
linux for 6 or 7 years now and this is literally the first incident I've
had with anything locking up on me. It's happened twice so far, both
during the night while I was at work. I would think if it was an
overheating problem it would happen during the day while I am sleeping,
but it hasn't so far.
Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Thanks,
Aaron
