Runlevels have no effect on X in ubuntu/debian, gdm is started in levels 
2-5.

Try typing sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start  on the command line. If the gui 
doesn't start up, provide a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log .

You can install pastebinit , and type   cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 
pastebinit . After a few seconds, you will get back a url of a webpage 
to which it was pasted.
