SRSS uses the 'gdmdynamic' program to tell GDM to start a new X session. SRSS tells GDM that the Xserver executable to be launched is /opt/SUNWut/lib/utxsun. utxsun is a wrapper script whose job is to construct an appropriate Xnewt command line and then exec Xnewt. SRSS interacts with the system's X Display Manager through a collection of scripts in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xmgr. There's a set of scripts that interact with GDM, another set that interacts with XDM (those are not supported, they're just left over from the initial bringup of SRSS on Linux but they can be a good starting point if you want to use a DM other than GDM) and, on Solaris, a set that interacts with dtlogin. The actual set of scripts that get executed is selected by the /etc/opt/SUNWut/xmgr symlink. If you're using GDM that symlink should point to /opt/SUNWut/lib/xmgr/gdm. Did you install the SRSS-specific build of GDM onto this system? GDM built from community head source did not include gdmdynamic until very recently, it was only available in the RPM delivered with SRSS. The version of gdmdynamic that is in the current GDM head is incompatible with the SRSS version. If you want to try to use a GDM built from GDM 1.14 head then you'll need to modify SRSS.
