Ubuntu 8.10 gdm AutoStart at Boot

/etc/rcS.d contains the scripts that are executed at boot time. These are in general symbolic links to the scripts in /etc/init.d

gdm start/stop script is found in /etc/init.d/. If you're missing the link to this script in /etc/rcS.d then it is a reason why your gdm does not start when your linux box boots.

ln -s /etc/init.d/[conf_file] /etc/rcS.d/[name_it].sh
