If you show what those debug messages are (copy them down and type into an email), also collect dmesg - obviously you'll need to run without xfce to do that - that might give some clues. As things stand there is no information in this report that will help anyone figure it out. > other times I get a square on my screen with a black background, > and it is otherwise completely frozen, and I can't ctrl-alt-Fn > into a terminal.

You can try blindly typing "boot r" and see if the system reboots. If so, you can try booting without X and see if the dmesg shows anything from the previous boot (which might include kernel error messages) above your normal boot dmesg. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
