I had to reboot my work machine today, and it came up in text mode (!). I did an init 5, but that had no effect (wrong command?). I killed the three gdm processes, and voila, X server mode.
Where do I look to find out what is not right here?
My server comes up in run-level 5 but I have to hit ctrl-alt-f7 to switch to the x-server screen. It doesn't switch to it automatically for some reason. Once I've changed to the graphical virtual screen everything else seems to work normally.
This was happening to me when I was using Xen. When I stopped using the Xen kernel it stopped happening. Not sure how the two are connected.
