First you should know what login manager your using, try
this from any console window...
"ps -A" and check out what services you are running
look for "gdm" or "kdm" or do a 
"ps -A | grep gdm" or "ps -A | grep kdm" and see what's
running.

Can you "su" at the server? Do you know the root password
for the server?
