Hey Abhishek, First thing, if you have a grey screen with a mouse pointer on it, it means that your XSERVER is running well and there is no problem with that, so the problem might be in your GDM configuration. Further as Bibek Suggested uncomment SCREEN_02 and go to /tmp/mnt and go through your xorg file to see what the errors are there in the dump file that is causing your workstations to fail. Next thing that you could do is see that kernel message in your server to find out if there is any service that is failing to give the display in your workstation. And yes if you are using old workstations, you might want to comment the GLX support line in lts.conf and just in case if you have new computers around that have good video card, you might want to boot these as workstations just to see whether it works or not.
Ya, try putting VESA as XSERVER and if it still doenot work, well the idea could be to reinstall the whole thing and try over again.
