Close. /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Do you use startx or xdm?

I use gdm as the login window. I have never actually seen the window of course because xorg hasn't worked correctly yet. But gdm did try to fire up.
However at the terminal prompt after interrupting a failed xorg session I typed in startx.

Was this dumb of me?
