Yes. Gnome is an X desktop, so you need a working X setup before you can
use any GUI desktop like KDE or Gnome. I made sure I had X working
before I installed Gnome.
Btw, it was easy to get DVD playback working by just telling the player
to use the X interface to the video card. I just start the player from
a run dialog in Gnome. I use ogle because it supports DVD navigation.
It has keyboard shortcuts for most everything. You won't get any
feedback from Gnopernicus, but that's not a problem.
