Hello,

Just 1 or 2 remarks if it can help you find a solution.
First, you don't install gnome through apt-get install gdm, you just install 
the Gnome Display Manager: "
  totoro% apt-cache search gdm
  gdm - GNOME Display Manager
"

You could check the X log here: /var/log/
The file is /var/log/XFree86.0.log on my "unstable".
  % tail /var/log/XFree86.0.log     
will show you what happened (unless your log is really empty?)

And you ought to specify if you had X working before you instaled gdm.

Cheers,
Sylvain.
