Tried /etc/init.d/gdm start? If GNOME worked before, and at boot-up, then presumably it was using GDM, so the above should work. On my wife's laptop (running Debian, and KDE which starts at boot via KDM), there's a file "/etc/X11/default-display-manager", which contains the single line: "/usr/bin/kdm" It appears that both "/etc/init.d/xdm" and "/etc/init.d/kdm" on her machine check that file, and use it to determie whether they should actually do anything. That is, if I were to run "/etc/init.d/xdm start" on her laptop, I'd get the same error you got, since her default DM is KDM... Hope that helps -bill!
