Ok I just reboot the system /tmp is automagically cleaned out at reboot. I started gdm and this is the message I got.
There is already appears to be an X Server on display :0. Should I try another display number? If you answer no, I will attempt to start the server on :0 again. (You can change consoles by pressing Ctrl-Alt- plus a function keys such as Ctrl-Alt-F7 to goto console 7. Xservers usually run on consols 7 and higher) yes/no I am new to debian and have only been playing with it for a short while. I have installed gdm_2.4.1.3-2 are there any issues I should be aware of with debian and gdm?
