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.
