Thanks for the input. Actually I got it working on 4.9 by renaming gdm.sh to z_gdm.sh.
It seems that gdm has to be the last thing program to launch at boot time.

I cannot get GDM2 to work on neither 4.9(nor 5.1.)
GDM chrashes at boot time no matter what I do.
I use the gnome2-2.4.0 package. I have tried to install it
at install time(which results in the gdm users not being
created), installed it afterwards and compiled it from
source(using ports), but the result is the same: gdm
chrashes X at boot time.
I have followed the instructions given at package install,
that is copied the /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh.sample to
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh. I have also copied the
/usr/x11R6/etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf to
/usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf. I have not touched the
/etc/ttys file, it is vanilla as installed.
I have searched the net in vain for any tips on how to fix
this, the only things I have found are the ones I have tried
already. The pam fix(from
http://people.freebsd.org/~marcus/pam_get_user.c.diff
) should not apply to 4.9 so I have not treid that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try starting not starting gdm at boot, and kicking it off
later. This
will enable you to get a better view of what breaks. You
should also
look at the gdm logs, and possibly the X logs.
Personally, I use xdm, so I don't have much help specific to
gdm.
However, you might try xdm to see if the problem is with gdm
or more
directly related to X.
