You can set up a serial console and use that to hit the debugger. You can
also see if that is causing a full hang of the system or if just X is
stuck. Check the kernel debugging section of the Handbook for details.
It sounds like, though, that the ACPI tables on your system are not
routing interrupts or otherwise specifying correct resources for your
video card. You should capture the output of boot -v (serial console is
also handy for this) and use acpidump to grab your ACPI tables.

On the ball there :)
Also, nitpick: It's "X" or "X11" or "XFree86", but never "X-Windows."
