Can you also confirm that XFree86 always works, independent of whether gdm is installed or not, and independent of what user runs it?
ok, I've got 3 users here: 'root' , 'leszek' and 'blah' ( which is just a dummy user created to test startx and XFree86 )
I purged gdm again, killed the X server, and tried 'startx-ing' with the three users. root and blah could do it, leszek - no.
I then tried to issue 'XFree86'. root could do it, both blah and leszek failed with
Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file /var/log/XFree86.0.log.old
No wonder, since
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/log | grep XFree -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40196 Apr 3 00:44 XFree86.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 40078 Apr 3 00:43 XFree86.0.log.old
However, as I said above, 'blah' still can issue 'startx' with no apparent problems at all!
