Check your runlevel, by typing runlevel in console. It's 2 by default.
Then check which services are started for your runlevel in
/etc/rcX.d/, where X is the number of your runlevel. If gdm is missing
there, just add it there.

You don't want to do that anyway. Just log in as a normal user and user
su / sudo to do tasks which require superuser rights.
