I can log in via 'linux single', no problem. I can start gdm from there, no
problems at all. I have not edited gdm.conf recently, and given that I can
start it from single mode, I don't think it is the problem with gdm.
Interesting thing is that tty6 was edited yesterday, probably by one of the
upgrades (I hope). I was trying to comment out ty6 from /etc/inittab,
didn't help.
What else can I check? I am thinking about installing say kdm instead of
gdm to try, but I don't think that would make any difference.
Thank You,
Vadim
