Quick test.  If you hit Ctrl-Alt-F1, does it go back to the text
screen?  If so, then press Ctrl-F7 and see if it pops up with something
that looks like a desktop.  I've seen numerous cases with machines that
get their address via dhcp that X appears to hang.  It's actually
running, but something network related causes it to delay the display. 
This is a shot in the dark though.
