When did it start to fail? What happens when you try to start X using startx? What messages do you have in /var/log/XFree86.0.log? How about /var/log/:0.log? What is the uid/gid of the gdm user? What are the permissions on /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm? On /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm? > > One thing I noticed in the mailing list is not to start gdm at boot time.

However, if you wish to disable this, just remove the /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh file.
