gdm hangs

["G. Zachariah White" <gzachariah@alumni.brandeis.edu>]

I've been poking around on the web and in books, but I haven't been able 
to find anything that addresses my problem.

I've installed Woody from CD on a Compaq Presario PII.  I have a 
Logitech PS/2 wheel mouse and a standard 104 keyboard.  When I boot up, 
the system hangs at the Gnome login screen.  No blinking cursor, no 
mouse control, no keyboard response.  The clock tells time, so something 
is still movin'.  The only option is to power cycle.  I've managed to 
move X (the file) to X.bak so that I can boot and use the bash terminal.

Any ideas about what to check or fiddle with to get my gui going?
