Check if you are running the font server (xfs).
If yes:  make sure your XF86Config file has a fontpath entry for it
  FontPath: "unix/:-1"
If no: comment out the fontpath entry for the server
  # FontPath: "unix/:-1"

Use startx not gdm.  Use "telinit 5" when you want to use gdm,
and "telinit 3" to turn it off (assuming the entry is in your
inittab).
