Did you try this with another init system? To be sure that it's a
systemd issue...
I remember having the same issue when HAL support was not compiled into
the XServer but was needed. However I guess that HAL is not an issue
anymore.
You might also try to figure out the autorun things of your
Windowmanager and run a program (glxgears or something else that moves)
to figure out whether or not the system is frozen or you just lack
possibility of input.
