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
