Fist thing I do is start XDM, login with my normal users. I can't open Session and Startup. Like I said before, I haven't been on it in XFCE for a long time. When I do that the screen becomes blurry, no keyboard, mouse or ssh access to the computer. I assume that the entire computer is frozen. There is nothing in /var/log/messages but a jump in time from when it crashed to when it started to boot again. Can't read dmesg, if I am not mistaken that starts over when you restart the computer. Haven't tried to read the Xorg.0.log or the .xsession-errors yet. I am going to try it again now and see what it says about this.
