Sounds like gdm has gone walkabout. Do you have a file /etc/init.d/gdm? If so, do you have a symlink /etc/rc2.d/S??gdm (where the two question marks should be digits)? If you've got both of those, I'm stumped, but your gdm config has probably lunched itself. > Launching X from CLI gives a grey screen with "X" cursor and nothing If you just run the command 'X' from the command line, that's what you get.

(That'll kill the X server, and take you back to the command prompt from whence you came). Alternately, Ctrl-Alt-F1 will give you back your virtual console without whacking the X server. - Matt
