I think adding single to the kernel line will boot you to single user mode. Then go change /etc/inittab to start at run-level 3 until you figure out what is causing the problem. I don't know if it would be a xorg.conf problem or something else. There is a way to have X generate a config file based on what it detects. I'd compare that to your current config and see what is different. I believe X -configure will generate the config file.
