Kevin,

If you don't have gdm running, delete the file /tmp/.X0-lock

(If that file isn't there  to delete - can't help sorry - sounds like something may have gone awry in your upgrade - try reinstalling and/or upgrading gdm.)

Warmest regards

Mike

        Subject:        [SLUG] I killed gdm I think



Hi all,

I don't know what happened I think I have downloaded the lasted
Xfree86 for debian, now gdm will not work. Basically it's telling
me that there is already one instance of gdm running on :0 enter
yes if I want another port open. when I have a look at the gdm
logs all I have is this.

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
                If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
                and start again

if I kill all instances of gdm, I have no problem starting xdm
can anyone help?

Thanks
