Hmmmm....that sounds odd. I assume that you can log in and `startx' and
go about your business?
When you issue `init 5' are you getting the xdm login screen at all? If
you are getting a text login, what tty are you on? X usually uses tty7
for its display, so you may try [L-ALT] + [L-ARROW] to cycle through
your available tty's and see if the display is there?
Also, what does your /etc/inittab file say for default run level?
