Thanks for the reply...

I seem to get from the bug reports and message threads that it could be ACPI 
or autofs.  If it IS ACPI, maybe this is the reason for my slowdown also.  I 
need to check and find out what what to do, but I can't do anything since I 
can't get back into X.  Any ideas on what I can do to get my X server back 
up?  This is the real problem for me right now...
