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...

Have you tried turning off ACPI at boot up?  Type 'a' at the grub boot screen and enter acpi=off to the kernel command line.
