That's not supposed to happen. Do you see anything interesting at the end of Xorg.0.log or Xorg.0.log.old? <snip> > I'm way out of my depth in trying to understand how modular X fits > together, but does it seem likely that this is a bug, or a > deliberate change, in xorg-server or am I looking at the wrong > package ? Anybody else seeing anything similar ? Is it in fact a > change in gdm ? I'm using gdm-2.18, but I don't think gdm has changed that behavior in a while. The real question is why Xorg is restarting and not just shutting down. One thing to note is that xorg-server-1.4.0 has quite a few bugs that are supposed to be fixed in 1.4.1 in a couple weeks. Don't know if that's the issue. I'd check the logs in /var/log/Xorg.0* and /var/log/gdm/:0.log* for strangeness. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
