Bug#681282: gdm3: After upgrade from squeeze to wheezy, the login screen does not start

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.4.1-8
Severity: normal
After upgrading from squeeze to wheezy, the graphical login screen does not start.
This occurs when starting using kernel 2.6.32-5-686.
Instead the system stays in text mode and the screen is black with the cursor shown
in the left upper corner. The cursor cannot be moved.
I then can switch to the console login by pressing Alt + F1 and login as root.
I have only the command line.
I also tried using xdm, but then the text console login appears directly.
When starting the system using kernel 2.6.26-2-686 the graphical login appears
with the user selection.
But maybe due to some FAILS when starting up, the keyboard and mouse does not work in this case.
Thanks in advance for help.
Kind regards
