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.

Dave
