Hey,
I'm having a bit of a problem with X. About half an hour ago, I was browsing the web, commenting on an article somewhere, when all of a sudden, X crashed for no reason.
I shutdown and then rebooted, and then the boot freezes at the "Multiuser GUI" step, at rc.X. If it helps, here are it's contents, sans comments.

After looking at that, I saw nothing particularly suspicious, and then simply rebooted into my Ubuntu partition and came here.
If a virus is suspect, I had no firewall running at the time, if that helps. I have no particularly useful stuff on there anyway, and backed up my home folder to my USB device a couple minutes ago, so if I need a re-install because of a virus or some fatal system fault, I can't say I'd mind.
EDIT---------------------------------------------------------
I am currently in Links, and I ended up finding out that the startup routine attempts to run X twice, because I ALWAYS recieve a timeout error, no matter how far I sleep it in the rc.X file.
Also, I have read acess to that HDD under my login, so any other needed info, I can get.
EDIT2--------------------------------------------------------
As I have not been getting any replies, I've scrapped Vector and revamped my Ubuntu Karmic install. So, consider the thread dead.
