Unable to get into X

OK, I tried letting it sit there trying to start GDM.  Came back after 
about ten minutes and it had turned itself off in despair.  Before 
trying again, I have two questions.

First, what do I add to the boot parameters to get it to start in a CLI 
so that I don't have to use the kludge from rescue mode.  Second, what 
logs do I need to grovel or post to work out what's going on?

(I'm beginning to wonder if my graphics card simply picked this time to 
die; it happened to my sister, recently, during an Ubuntu upgrade.)
