    Re: lost gdm login

    Just to be curious, why didn't you use
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install gdm
    because dpkg -i doesn't check all of it's depencies iirc.

    Did it ever work, or is this the first time you're trying gdm?
    If you use "top", does it show any Xorg process?

    anyway, my suggestion is to try and remove the package gdm
    Code:
    dpkg --remove gdm
    and reinstall it, using apt-get.

    Re: lost gdm login

    Are you using the LiveCD?

    check if the cd is added to your /etc/apt/sources.list

    Code:
    sudo apt-cdrom add
    sudo apt-get update
    and then the rest

    Re: lost gdm login

    depends on what video card you use
    xorg does it mostly automatically, but in some cases you need to manually install and configure the driver.

    test it first, because the LiveCD works, I don't think it's a problem related to your graphics card
