dunno, maybe the init script got confused. Maybe a module couldn't get
unloaded and there's a "please reboot" kernel message sitting somewhere
on one of your terminals (it happens :)
If init.d/xdm got confused, just `ps aux | grep gdm` to make sure it's
not there, `killall Xorg` if you like, and then: `/etc/init.d/xdm zap`
to bring it back in line. Then try starting it again.
