About a month or so ago I lost the ability to use my GDM to log in. I
can log in using XDM which has to be called from the command line. When

in as root but when I type gdm it tells me gdm is already running. At
one point it told me that I had no screens configured or XDMCP is
disabled. I have unmerged gdm and re-emerged it.
I have rebuilt my xorg.conf. I have removed my /etc/X11/gdm.conf and
then ran gdmconfig. Even double checked rc.conf (no changes there).
All of which has been a learning experience but is alas fruitless.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log comes up clean execpt for a warning about APM and a
warning while probing the nvidia video card.
All hints will be tried and greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
"rm /var/run/gdm.pid"?
That did not help. :-( Still no joy.
Remove /var/lib/init.d/started/xdm and start xdm:
/etc/init.d/xdm start
Do you get any errors on boot or in /var/log/gdm.log?
