look at ~/.gnome-errors and ~/.xsession-errors for clues.
If you <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Del>, look at these from console before starting
gnome or xsession.
Maybe check: /var/log/messages, /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/syslog
Run something like xosview to see if CPU usage goes to 100%. If
so, run gtop to see what is running in background.
sometime mouse in X conflict with gpm. If so, disable gpm or set mouse
device in XF86Config-4 to use /dev/gpmdata.
I hope this helps.
