gdm issues
 

WARNING: gdm_server_spawn: Could not open log file for display :2!

originally had an issue with .ICEauthority and found to do a chown -R gdm /var/lib/gdm.... that solved that error that was popping up.

Now it boots and just goes to a black screen. The box is working fine because I have squid/dansguardian running on it and its working. I can access it via SSH, but I can not get into the GUI.

I am running Fedora 14

thanks in advance

What OS are you running?
Obviously it's a graphics issue post output of lspci.
Btw you're above the curve because you already know that you can ogin via ssh.

you should put /var/lib/gdm right back to:
drwxrwx--T 3 root gdm 4096 Stu 8 15:13 /var/lib/gdm

you can do it as root with (do this from command line just once before you start gdm):
chmod 1770 /var/lib/gdm
chown root.gdm /var/lib/gdm
chown -R gdm.gdm /var/lib/gdm/.fontconfig
rm /var/lib/gdm/*
