Help, I was replacing the CD-ROM drive in a collegues linux-box (he's evaluating it). When I booted the computer, it recognised the CD-ROM drive ok and it works fine, but it did do a check disk routine and found a couple of inodes it should delete. Now, when it boots to runlevel 5 (X), which is the default. I get the plain vanilla X without any Window Manager!!!. I can log in with runlevel 3 (no X), and type startx, and it starts, after a while, elightenment (I must get him to use a WM for a less powerful system) There are no incriminating messages in /var/log/messages or anything perculiar in dmesg output. the link /etc/X/prefdm points to gdm as the display manager. Could it be possible that gdm is at fault, or am I barking up the wrong tree.
