Hello I've just installed Mandrake 7.0 and I have encountered a problem with gdm. When /etc/sysconfig/desktop contains the word GNOME and I give `telinit 5`at any shell prompt a blue screen appears and then it goes blanc again and then the blue screen reappears. This happens again and again and the only way to stop it is pressing Alt-F1 and immediately Alt-Ctrl-Del which causes a restart. When using kdm (echo KDE >/etc/sysconf/desktop) nothing of these happens. I've examined /var/log/messages and no error appears in there. Also there is no entry in /var/log/xdm-error.log and ~/.xsession-errors. I've also verified the rpm package using rpm --verify gdm and no error message appears. I know one of your answers will be "just use kdm" but I want to see how gdm looks (you could send me a screenshot perhaps:) I don't know what is wrong and I don't know where to look for configuration errors. Need help. Thanks Bye __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
