Hi Abhi,
It sounds like gdm (or whatever xlogin manager) is choking.
a few things you can look at:
-check that your /etc/hosts file has a line like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
-can you run x from runlevel 3?
try "startx" or "X -query localhost"
if they fail, what are the error messages?
-look in /var/log/xdm-errors
and /var/log/XFree86.0.log
