Sorry, not explicit enough. That page has no info on debugging, but what I wanted to make sure was that if you're using d-bus, you should have this in .xinitrc: exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session gnome-session > "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Aug 27 21:57:48 2007 > (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" > Fulfilled via DRI at 20486400 > Freed 20486400 (pool 2) > The application 'gnome-session' lost its connection to the display :0.0; > most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed > the application. > xinit: connection to X server lost. > Freed 20486400 (pool 1) > FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" refcount is 2, should be 1; > fixing. Well, that looks like how things go when you kill the server without first killing gnome-session. So, that looks OK. That makes me wonder what's happening with gdm that doesn't happen here. What happens when you try to run orca? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
