Don: Thanks but no go. Below are the contents of the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf as found in the distribution Angstrom image:
[daemon] TimedLoginEnable=true TimedLogin=root TimedLoginDelay=10 Obviously this is successful in having root login automatically as that is what happens! Changing root to my new user causes the login process to hang with the login form displayed but nothing further. Changing root to xuser, which also comes as part of the image, results in the same behaviour which is a hang. There has obviously been something done when the image was built to have root login. Hopefully one of the BBB folks will see this post and help out....! Looking at top shows that gdmconf-2 is running constantly with about 9% CPU usage. Help!
