X11 or X Server error

When I start my laptop and log on using gdm and gnome I get a warning tell me that a x server is already running on screen 0. It says select yes to start on a different screen. So, I select yes and a couple of respawns later I log on and everything is fine. Just wondering if anyone has any Ideas on what could be causing this. Any feed back would be appreciated.

Re: X11 or X Server error

hmmm,

1) when does that warning appear, exactly?

2) what do you mean by "respawns"?  new gdm sessions?  x restarting?

3) when you say "I log on" do you mean you have to enter your credentials again?  that you get a gnome desktop session?
