Don:
Thanks but no go. Below are the contents of the file /etc/gdm/custom.conf
as found in the distribution Angstrom image:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=root
TimedLoginDelay=10
Obviously this is successful in having root login automatically as that is
what happens! Changing root to my new user causes the login process to
hang with the login form displayed but nothing further. Changing root to
xuser, which also comes as part of the image, results in the same behaviour
which is a hang.
There has obviously been something done when the image was built to have
root login. Hopefully one of the BBB folks will see this post and help
out!
Looking at top shows that gdmconf-2 is running constantly with about 9% CPU
usage.
Help!
Thanks,
Will

I want to setup my BBB to have a user other than root login to the gdm
without entering a password. I have editted the /etc/gdm/custom.conf
file to replace root with the name of my user but the login does not
complete. It either hangs at the login window waiting for a
password...or it just hangs there without asking for a password. I
have logged into gdm using the new user ID so I know it works.
Thanks,
Will
