Did you someone get booted into runlevel 3?  If you try 'telinit 5' at the 
prompt what do you get?  Try starting GDM manually with 'gdm &' and see what 
happens then.

You probably need to configure that mouse, I assume its an evdev mouse (logitech 
or microsoft wireless)?  My Apple MightyMouse 'just works' but I haven't tried 
plugging in my Logitech MX revolution yet (that one does work with evdev 
configuration, but maybe not without any xorg.conf editing, I dont' know yet).
