I had the problem in the past ten days and did post a message. Someone
responded that I should run dexconf. I did and still had the warning
not updating /etc/X11/X but the next time I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf I
found my previous edits had been erased and gdm could start X Windows.
It seems to be important to have all of the following installed:
x11-common 7.0.20
xbase-clients 7.0.1-2
xorg 7.0.20
xserver-xfree86 7.0.20
xserver-xorg 7.0.20
xserver-xorg-core 1.0.2-8
xserver-xorg-input-all 7.0.20
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1.0.0.5-2
xserver-xorg-input-kbd 1.0.1.3-2
xserver-xorg-input-mouse 1.0.4-3
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 0.14.4-5
xserver-xorg-input-wacom 0.7.4.1-3
xutils 7.0.0-3
I hope this helps. By the way I was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add
lines for the wacom grahire tablet which I found Linux Wacom Project
HOWTO. They didn't solve the problem but they didn't stop gdm from
loading.
