Walt- I forgot to include one piece of very important information. I have been attempting to start Xorg via a remote machine using Terminal. Last night I decided to connect a monitor to the server and I discovered that the problem is probably a pilot error. As a result of my "screw up", when my server boots up it now starts the GUI. Now I need to search the web to get some help on how to prevent my server from starting GDM.<br>

I am a newbie to Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS, and I have been struggling for weeks to fix Xorg. Every time I type startx the following appears, can someone provide specific driving instructions to fix this problem.<br>

What do you have in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ?<br>
<br>
Instead of typing 'startx', what happens if you type (as root) 'Xorg -configure' ?<br>
Or 'Xorg -help' ?<br>
