Hi Jude. It looks like Florian's got you going the right direction on the Xorg logs...

To make this error go away, do this as root: update-rc.d -f gdm remove that will remove all the gdm symlinks so that it won't even try to run. Then if you find the startx solution is working for you, you could probably just uninstall gdm altogether. In your situation, I'd probably recommend this as any time you do an upgrade that includes gdm, those symlinks will get recreated... very annoying. A
