Difficult this. It doesn't look hardware related because X comes up and
you get what is known as the "fail whale" (and a most informative and
helpful message :) ).
Also difficult because what you had personally configured on Wheezy is
unknown. So we'll try a thing or two. No guarantees.
Disable logging in with gdm3 with
systemctl set-default multi-user.target
You can reverse this with
systemctl set-default graphical.target
Make sure you have xinit installed ('dpkg -l xinit') and reboot. Log in
and run 'startx'. Over to you.
