There's a bug in the geode driver that's preventing X from starting on
my OLPC XO. Consequently, when gdm tries to start X, it fails. Gdm
apparently exits at this point, and then the upstart script for gdm
starts it again, because respawn is specified. I guess gdm could crash
for some reason, and in that case you'd maybe want it to restart, but
there needs to be something in place to prevent it from just restarting
continuously - I had to power down the system and boot a different
system in order to disable respawning before I could do anything at all
on a tty console.
