Just type CTRL+ALT+F2 to go to a non graphical login screen. Login as your user, become root, stop gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) e try reconfiguring X (dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg). Restart gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm start). This will, probably, resolve your problem. It should be of help for us if you can send the content of /var/log/installer.
