Please bottom post on this list - thanks. :-)

OK, then it doesn't appear that gdm is the issue. Have you done as
suggested and booted to recovery mode & run the dpkg option? Try that to
see if your video drivers get updated. You can also do the same while
you are logged into the tty console - try:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
$ startx
