You should really try to get this kind of questions answered elsewhere.
Doing this once or twice might be alright, but usually it doesn't stop
at that since you'll have more questions.

As root:
/etc/init.d/gdm start

I'm a bit surprised this doesn't happen automatically for you, at least
on the next reboot.  Or maybe it does and your real problem is that you
need to select the right session from the menu in the login manager.
