I had a similar problem with srss-3.1.1 (Sunray Software 4 EA) and a clean install of Fedora Core 5. Everything seemed to be working except for getting GDM started on the DTU. However, my DTUs were hung at 26D instead of the hourglass. I would get a single login window on my local console, but no activity anywhere else. My problem: FC5 set up /etc/inittab to respawn GDM in nodaemon mode. My solution: configure inittab to start GDM once (in daemon mode): # Run xdm in runlevel 5 # original FC5 config #x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon # for SRSS-3.1.1 - just start GDM once to respawn on its own. x:5:once:/usr/sbin/gdm Hope this helps.
