Ok, what might cause gdm-dynamic not to start a display for a unit? It appears that the SRSS has given it a display (:11) according to utsession -p: Token ID Registered Name Unix ID Disp State ------------------------------ -------------------- ---------- ---- ----- pseudo.0003ba6ba87b ??? ??? 11 > SRSS interacts with the system's X Display Manager through > a collection of scripts in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xmgr.

Yes, I am using gdm-2.4.4.7.1 that came with SRSS3.1. [EMAIL PROTECTED]> rpm -qa|egrep gdm gdm-2.4.4.7.1-3 Is there any way to try and figure out what gdm is doing and where it is going wrong? I tried to strace the gdm-binary process but did not see anything obvious. Any hints?
