I would do a "ps -eaf | grep X"   to see if /usr/bin/X is running.  If it is, I would try killing it and see if the login screen appears after 15~30 seconds.

Forgot to ask, again, if you are running GNOME/GDM or another desktop/display manager.

Also I would do a "top" to see if any process is hogging the CPU.....but I doubt that is the problem.
