I have the same problem on a brand new HP DX 2250 machine running Ubuntu
8.04
I commented out the starting of X and I can login via a tty but when I
startx it hangs.
Using the Live CD - what is funny though, if this helps. when it runs
from the live CD it show the X based login prompt OK and then
yes
uninstall compiz
flip the login into safe mode then apt-get remove compiz
or you can use control-alt f1 to get to a terminal session then remove
it
