That doesn't say too much. Could you try running gdm with debugging? Try adding the following to /etc/gnome/2.18.3/gdm/custom.conf (the [debug] group may already exist): [debug] Enable=true Then run gdm (as root) and don't let it fork: gdm -nodaemon You'll probably want to save the output from that command. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
