I've seen X hang while starting if the network is down (two ctrl-C fixed that), and similarly no prompt after ctrl-alt-bs when the network is down (again, ctrl-C), but not a multicoloured display. I suppose it might be related to item 3. > 3.

If it was my system, I'd copy the working xorg.conf from the previous install - going throught what X generates and fixing it up the way you want it is certainly educational, but tedious. That's not to say that further editing to get *better* is a bad idea, but starting with an adequately working version is always easier.
