nothing appears in syslog with the startx command, however everytime I
use gdm I get:

Nov 20 17:51:54 laptop gdm[4562]: WARNING: Failed to start X server
several times in a short time period; disabling display :0

No real difference, it created a /root/.Xauthority file and said:
X:warning process set to priorty -1 instead of requested priority 0
then I got the same errors as in my original post.

Thanks all for the help so far btw..
