I cannot get gdm to work in a VM either; it starts, but I just see a black screen.
I tried under LXDM in Debian sid, but that doesn't seem to register any session at all ("w" is empty except for the table header).
I also tried gdm3 on sid with the default (Cirrus), -vga virtio, and -vga vmware, and in none of these cases it starts. Maybe it needs some configuration after apt-get install gdm. So perhaps someone could try this under Ubuntu GNOME?
