With Xserver 1.3 then? That's an interesting point. Could you log in
through ssh and attach a gdb with
    gdb -p $(pidof X)
then interrupt with ctrl-c, enter 'bt full' to see which code is being
run, then enter 'c' to continue, wait a bit, enter ctrl-c again, enter
'bt full' again ... several times to get several backtraces. If all
backtraces are similar, we may know where the server is stuck.

It would be even better to do that with Xserver 1.4 from unstable.

thanks,
