I had the same thing happen when I upgraded my computer and needed to
install a different Xserver for my new video card. I'd dpkg --purge'd
the other one, and it removed the X server commmandline from
/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. The last line should read:
8<----------------------------------------------------------------->8
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -bpp 16
8<----------------------------------------------------------------->8
... you may leave off the '-bpp 16' and it will default to 8 bit (256)
color, rather than 16bit (65535) color mode.
