Is it only emacs (sounds like it)?  If it is then check into your .emacs
config file for something that looks out-of-place.  Perhaps
rename .emacs to something else and start emacs to see what happens.
Sounds like X is blocking.

Can you hit <Ctrl><Alt><F1> and get to a console login while it's
unresponsive (<Ctrl><Alt><F7> to get back, BTW)?  I had a screensaver
issue a few years ago where the screen would sometimes be split with the
top edge actually drawn across the center of the monitor.
