xserver wont run

[Bobby Lockett]

Everytime I boot Linux, it appears to startup fine. After startup, my computer normally loads gdm and the greeter appears. Now everytime I boot, the computer seems like it wants to load gdm, but then I get a black screen with a bunch of grey squares that look like cursors. I dont know if the nVidia drivers are messed up or if my video card is busted, but some insight would be nice. System specs:

Gateway computer
Athlon 800
384 mb RAM
60 gb HD
30 gb HD
nVidia Geforce 2mx

You should take a look at the X error log file (/var/lof/XFree86.?.log)
and maybe post it here (or at least the lines with an (EE)), because
without any further information it is nearly impossible to find out why
it doesn't work.
