Well if I was you I would probably remove gnome and use tasksel.
But look for some gnome drivers or something.
Maybe in /etc? Do you have a gnome directory there?

Well I don't know since I don't use grml or whatever, so I suggest you try 
tasksel and then that way startx should just "work"

How about trying
www.google.com?
That will tell you.

Its just a log in setup though. And it won't talk.
So you kind of need to guess a bit there.
And sometimes it doesn't work properly and its hard to tell what is 
happening.
