1.) I can't follow you: You first say that you do startx, but after you
crash you are back to the xdm login screen. If you startx, you should be
back at the console after crashing.
If you have xdm running at terminal 7 (strg+alt+F7), you probably have
to call startx like that 'startx -- :1' to stret X at terminal 8
(because xdm is aleady running at terminal 7
2.) If you use Gnome anyway, you are probably better off with gdm
instead of xdm

If you actually had pasted the error, the list would be in a better
position to help :)
