I have encountered a strange error since upgrading to snv_107. After booting, gdm attempts to start an X session, but fails. After several retries, the X server gives up, and the console login screen remains. Thereupon, I can login to a text session, and type:
$ pfexec svcadm restart gdm ...and X starts up with no problem. An examination of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (corresponding to the current, successful X session) and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old (corresponding to the X failure, when gdm came up as part of the boot process) shows that there is no difference in the logs, except the failed log ends with a backtrace and "Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting." All other steps in the log are identical between the working and the crashed X sessions. This happens every time I reboot; the gdm service must be restarted manually, whereupon everything works as it should. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting this issue, given that the Xorg log shows no abnormalities, until it crashes and burns, apparently for no reason. Any ideas or advice would be appreciated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
