Comment 7 for bug 277344

Just to see if I could get any display manager running on the Beta install I did:
boot in recovery mode
select root prompt
dhclient
ifconfig
apt-get install xfce4
startxfce4

which came right up. I'm making this entry now from that setup which runs Firefox 3.03 O.K.

Before going through all this I tested startx which fires up gnome, and which freezes as described in the bug description. Power off and try xfce4 which works.
