Problem with GDM starting.

Not sure if this is xgl related or not but gdm no longer starts.  I have gdm starting on runlevel five in inittab.  I also have a custom.conf to start xgl.  Everything worked fine until today.  I did a pacman -Syu which included an update to xgl.  Rebooted and GDM wouldn't start...all I get is a black screen.  No EEs in Xorg.0.log..

And on an unrelated note...did the gnome move to /usr break mono?  None of my mono apps will start as non-root user (they work as root).  They throw the same error (which I can't post until I can get booted into Gnome )

Re: Problem with GDM starting.

Can't help with the gdm problem but regarding the mono apps, a couple of apps bombed on me after the move of gnome. Don't know if it was because of that or just a coincidence. Deleting and reinstall of the offending apps solved the problem for me.

Re: Problem with GDM starting.

Thanks for the input.  In a way, you indirectly helped me solve my GDM problem.  Good ol' reinstall did the trick.  Maybe I did something stupid as root?  I also have been having problems with Samba...but I'm not sure if thats samba or windows.  I'll reinstall and see if that helps.
