Lost X Rh6.0

X pops up and gives me the little “x” for a cursor and a gray background. I get no login–no gdm. Checking /var/log/messages. Last thing in the log is:

gdm_auth_secure_display: Could not unlink
/var/gdm/:0.xauth file: No such file or directory
(uid=0)

gdm_server_usr1_handler: Could not open
display

/var/gdm/:0.xauth definitely exists, has 65 bytes and contains my domain name+”0MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1″ and then some more numbers.

I don’t want to fdisk again if there is a way to recover. Thanks in advance.
