I decided to check if X works on my new server and ran into the
following problem:
Server starts at run level 3 and operates fine.
When I:
startx
from the command line, X loads, then when it reaches the point where
it displays the splash screen for login, the splash screen flashes up
for a moment, with the cursor displaying as a hash of colour, then the
screen goes blank.
I can ssh into the machine from another workstation, so the machine
hasn't hung. "top" reveals that the X process is now thrashing the
CPU away at 100%. But no response from keyboard or monitor of the
server itself.
Only way to bring it back is to do a shutdown via the ssh session.
Can anyone suggest how I should go about debugging this issue?

Seems that most people running servers want to keep things simple
and never even set up the X system. Your going to be ssh to the box all
the time anyway it appears. Forget X.
