GDM problem

[Piers Kittel <edinfo-list@biased.org>]

Hello all

Started up my PC and X seemed to have started up twice, then I got a 
message saying "You seem to have already a X server running on :0, 
should I try starting up in that window or should I not do this?" and I 
see there's 2 or 3 instances of X running so I kill them all.  But GDM 
won't start properly - it seems to try and start up several times.  So I 
stop GDM, kill all instances of X, log in using the command line and 
start X using "startx".  It hasn't done this before.  So what am I doing 
wrongly and how do I fix this?

Thanks very much for your help
