Comment 15 for bug 430494

I already stated in two other comments that starting gdm manually works just fine. :-) In fact that is the only reason my netbook is still usable. Basically I am always left at a command prompt when I first boot. I login then run `sudo /usr/sbin/gdm` and I'm up and running. While this is a blessing for now and allows me to continue working, I cannot keep doing this. I just want to find out why gdm no longer starts. Any troubleshooting steps you can give me would be much appreciated.
