Is the whole system handing, or just X? Do you have a networked computer
you can SSH in from, that would enable you to kill X. If all else fails,
and provided you have enabled CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ in your kernel, hold
down Alt and SysReq/PrtScr and press S, U and B in turn to reboot
(reasonably) cleanly. Pausing a couple of seconds between each key is
probably a good idea.

There was still nothing, but you could see it better.
