Do you mean "gpm", you might need to kill the process of gpm before starting
X, there was alsmall discussion on this a while back, try also reading the
man page for gpm, there is some mention of running gpm with a special option
allowing you to start x without killing gpm first, weather it works i dont
know, i dont have that problem.

Then you dont seem to have the correct server installed, or the symbolic
link (normaly found in /etc/X11) is point to the wrong place or is non
existant.

Does the led light up "only" when you try to write to it, or is it on all
the time, on all the time suggests the cable is back to front, burning only
when you write to it means you possably have not "mounted" it.

Thats setterm blanking the screen, change its default with 'setterm -blank
10' = 10 minutes.
'setterm -blank 0' = turns it off.
