You'll hear a beep from your pc speaker once gdm is ready for you to
login. Keep in mind though that if you're starting x from a text
console using startx, you'll be bypassing gdm, because you're already
logged in. It all depends on how you want to start x. You can either
use startx from the shell prompt in a text console, if you feel brave,
you can change your default run level, so that your distro boots
directly into x and gdm, or you can do what I like to do, which is to
use telinit as root to switch manually to the default run level for
x. What I like about the third method is that I can still be in text
mode by default when the box boots, but if I want to use x, I can
start with a fresh login session, as if my box had booted directly
into x and gdm. Hth.
