Hey,

My debian stable installation works fine before we shifted our office.
Before shifting I did mv /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm to /etc/rc2.d/_S99gdm to
prevent the computer from starting X automatically. This morning
startx gave me the below error after debian logo showed off for about
10 seconds.

waiting for X server to shut down
---------------Error end-------------------

I did mv /etc/rc2.d/_ S99gdm back to its original name and dpkg-
reconfigure. But I still can not startx.

Can any of you give me some hint please?

Blessings,
Rocky

What happens if you try starting X manually with "startx"?

Also, you might look in and post lines marked EE from /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
