i didn't enable gdm when i installed mandrake. i enabled it using linuxconf and setting network+graphics and run-level 3. gdm is installed. when i boot X starts but the screen remains blank except for the default X background. i don't know what the significance of this but this is what's in /var/gdm/:0.log (attached) AUDIT: Wed Oct 13 09:30:59 1999: 716 X: client 1 rejected from local host Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server i have everything that's available from ftp.ciril.fr as of date / time in log file. any idea what's wrong?
