Check your Xorg log file in /var/log/ for any errors or warnings.  I 
suspect you might be running into a graphics driver/library problem.
You can make a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to force the vesa driver for testing:
Section "Device"
         Identifier  "Videocard0"
         Driver      "vesa"
EndSection
