That is kind of odd. But I am assuming you figured out what the precise problem is. What worries me more is the the fact that a process ignores kill -9. Doesn't it indicate a problem with the OS? I think potentially this is a security vulnerability. No not really. There are instances when a process can ignore SIGKILL or kill -9 as colloquially stated. For example, when a process in in the state of an uninterruptible sleep, marked as D in the top output, it will ignore all signals. Similarly for processes which are zombies, showing up as Z in the top output, will ignore the SIGKILL as well. Ideally, if you think you are hitting on a case where the process is not an uninterruptible state and still refuses to listen to SIGKILL, you should attach a strace or dtrace session to the process and see what is going on.

Did Xorg work correctly before that time and did you have the same version of Xorg that you have now? The xorg-server-1.7.7_5,1 itself does not even depend on png, so you should be able to run Xorg without hanging kernel driver. You could do a forced rebuild of all X packages, also those that do depend on png. Maybe I should ask in x11@? Not a bad idea at all, if you fully specify your problem (as you did in your original posting) and keep in mind that response times can be somewhat longer there.
