Have a look at /var/log/xorg.0.log for anything obvious (though is X is running it probably isn't there). Otherwise /var/log/messages should also be checked.
I know that SuSe 9.2 locked up after login for me on one system. This turned out be having a non-existent sound driver. The Gnome desktop seems to want to play a startup sound by default and not having a suitable sound device hung up the whole session initialisation process. BTW The ubuntu wiki and IRC chat channels have proven to be very good, for me at least.

I've got a fresh install of ubuntu horay 64-bit on my Athlon-64 3500+ system and whenever I log into X, after putting in my username and password the system completely locks up. Any ideas?
