Reboot if you have to (or access the box via ssh from another computer) and 
look for any error messages in:

/var/log/Xorg.0.log
~/xdm.log   (or wherever xdm.log is stored - # locate xdm.log to find it)
/var/log/messages

Check the above BEFORE you restart X otherwise Xorg.0.log will be overwritten.

HTH.
