Apr 21 17:27:51 morreion gdmgreeter[567]: greeter_parse_config: No configuration file: /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Using defaults. These confuse me because gdm.conf is exactly at the specified location and it's world readable so gdm should have no problem at all reading the file. Is that a file from a previous version of gdm? Maybe the syntax has changed, and the error message is just\ misleading. The gdm package/ port comes with a sample ... pkg_info -L gdm2-2.6.0.0_1 | grep gdm.conf /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf which you could copy in to place and see if that works better. It can't be from a previous versions, I did a complete new installation of FBSD on this machine. I diff-ed the two and there were no differences. But I went ahead and copied factory-gdm.conf to gdm.conf. No change, the same error pop-up, the same warnings in the message log... I'm open for suggestions how to further tackle this... Have you tried gdmsetup? Also, there is always kdm if you can't get it going. _ Tired of spam?

Have you tried gdmsetup? yes, it works correctly, changes i make with gdmsetup do appeaar in gdm.conf, however gdm keeps crashing with the same messages Also, there is always kdm if you can't get it going. I know, i've been using kdm for years now :) but installing kdm doesn't really feel like a solution, more like a workaround :P Is there any loggin being done by gdm that i can check for more information? I'm going to recompile gdm with debug flags set, maybe i can get more accurate info from the debugger. I'll keep you informed if I find something :) Regards, Chris ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
