Hi Martin,

Thanks for the advice.

I removed the vt05 and now it is working. I will file a PR shortly,  
but I thought I would let you know here where I actually commented  
things out so that it is public knowledge now :)

# Definition of the standard X server.
[server-Standard]

name=Standard server
#command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 -audit 0
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0
flexible=true

Well, you can see the change I made (and you were right about the  
gdm.conf location) and now gdm works.

Thanks again,

Greg
