Just 1 or 2 remarks if it can help you find a solution. First, you don't install gnome through apt-get install gdm, you just install the Gnome Display Manager: " totoro% apt-cache search gdm gdm - GNOME Display Manager " > > I cannot start the x server (your graphical interface) It is likely that it > is not set up correctly Would you like to view the x server output to > diagnose the problem?

Does anybody know > what is wrong and how I can solve this problem? You could check the X log here: /var/log/ The file is /var/log/XFree86.0.log on my "unstable". % tail /var/log/XFree86.0.log will show you what happened (unless your log is really empty?) And you ought to specify if you had X working before you instaled gdm.
