Thanks a lot to investigate this problem so deeply. I have, maybe related, a bit strange phenomenon among xdm, too.
I have a bit different setup than others: I'm using modified x11/gdm/files/gdm.in to launch xdm. The problem is, when I start xdm manually from ttyvX like this: exec sudo service xdm start xdm won't start, while doing like this: sudo service xdm start; sleep 10; exit xdm starts happily. To emulate this symptom for those who don't use rc.d/xdm, in ttyvX: exec sudo sh -c "(sleep 10; /usr/local/bin/xdm) &" (The amount to sleep may differ if some race conditions are involved.) I guess the root cause seems to reside in accessing revoke(2)-ed (or possibly, about to be revoke(2)-ed) tty. I hope my shallow observation can shed some lights from different perspective. -- -|-__ YAMAMOTO, Taku | __ < <t...@tackymt.homeip.net> - A chicken is an egg's way of producing more eggs. - Post Scriptum: In my environment and/or setup, xdm auto-starts fine 100% times via rc.d on system startup. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
