Hi all,
I installed from ports gnome 2.4 and gdm on Freebsd 4.9. I copied factory-gdm.conf
to
gdm.conf, I also copied gdm.sh.sample to gdm.sh.
I still can't start gdm I get the following error messages:
Dec 27 10:03:15 trinity gdm[193]: Failed to start X server several times in a short
time period;
disabling display :0
Dec 27 10:08:05 trinity gdm[252]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error -
Restarting :0
From where was gdm installed? When did it start to fail? What happens
when you try to start X using startx? What messages do you have in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log? How about /var/log/:0.log? What is the uid/gid
of the gdm user? What are the permissions on /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm? On
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm?
One thing I noticed in the mailing list is not to start gdm at boot time. Which file
is needed for
that so that I can disable it.
Under normal circumstances, gdm can be started at boot time without any
problems. However, if you wish to disable this, just remove the
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh file.

Thank you.
