oops, i'm stupid, I tries to login xdm using root, I saw this was possible using gnome so I figures what the heck. So that is fine (not being able to login xdm using root). But I still have a problem in regard to gnome not being able to work. Firefox does not start, nothing starts not even console. I think this is a /home mounting issue.
Thanks for everyone help. Regards, Ninus
