We need to know the error messages and warnings from the Xorg log. Can
you switch to a terminal (e.g. CTRL + ALT + F1) after X/kdm hangs? If
so, run the following command and post its output here:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
If your system is locked completely you can try to reboot into single
user mode and run the same command. You can redirect its output to a
file like this:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log > somefile.txt
Then you can start gnome normally and include somefile.txt in the email
message.
