I had a problem with GDM not spawning on the SunRay clients when installing SRSS 3.1.1 on Fedora Core 6 (stuck at 26D), but GDM was up on the local display (:0). Turns out the problem for me was how GDM was started in /etc/inittab. The stock FC5 config would only start GDM once in "nodaemon" mode and restarted when it died (and therefore not start up additional instances for the clients). I tried changing it to just start once in "daemon" mode, and that fixed it. Here's my fix in my inittab. Maybe this could be the cause of your problem (and hopefully the solution) # Run xdm in runlevel 5 # stock FC5 setup #x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon # setup for SRSS to get GDM on SunRay clients x:5:once:/usr/sbin/gdm You shouldn't have to used the Sun-provided GDM. I believe the latest versions of GDM that come with the linux distros have SunRay support. Hope this helps.
