i have a similar problem, with gdm not working on sparc running
current unstable debian. similarly with Scott, after i've upgraded a
bunch of packages, the X server did not start any more: gdm was
starting, but X server "flashes" and immediately stops, leaving only
gdm running.
X server works fine when running via "startx" or from xdm (rather than gdm).
there are no EE lines in the Xorg.0.log in any case. the diff between
the failed xserver run (under gdm) and successful xserver run (under
xdm) is:

i tried to change gdm config to pass the -dpi 100 option, making the

i don't know how to debug the problem when X server exits when running
under gdm (or kdm).
Best,
v.
