Notice that this problem is in no way a gdm bug, but a XFree86 bug, so you should probably be reassigning this bug to the xfree86 source package, or xserver-xfree86. Furthermore, i don't think there is a way to solve this issue right now, apart from maybe having some script which tests if the graphic card got changed since X was configured and reruns the configuration then or something. I doubt this will be seriously considered by the X strike force though, and in any case it is no sarge issue. Furthermore, the solution to this is easy, X will try to boot three times, and drop you in a shell once it fails, and there you can easily do a : dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 as root. Should work just fine. Sure, it could be shown in the message discplayed, or even automatically invoked, but i doubt this will happen all that often. Anyway, make sure that you reassign this bug to the right package (xfree86), and start talking with the X folk on debian-x instead of here.
