Just to be curious, why didn't you use


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


dpkg --remove gdm


and reinstall it, using apt-get.

Are you using the LiveCD?

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



sudo apt-cdrom add
sudo apt-get update


and then the rest

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
