[gentoo-user] can anyone please help me with gnome?
X are working fine, when i GDM and log into PC it stops on splashscreen, no error messages, no nothing... I am frustrated, i created new user, gave all permissions, didnt work out, i deleted old config files from system, didnt help either, i am not programmer, so i cant make much, anyone had this sort of problems before? gnome panel works ok, gnome-wm works too, gnome-session shows mistakes, but i am not sure its problem of gnome-session, i recompiled it anyway, didnt help... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

It does NOT necessarily start xdm, it starts what you have specified in $DISPLAYMANAGER, which is set in /etc/rc.conf Therefore gdm starting is probably the correct result fo rrunning /etc/init.d/xdm start OK so once you have started gdm in the correct manner, does it work? -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
