Hi,xfree86, I am a Chinese student,and I am a beginner of Linux.I used to use RedHat Linux 8.0,but I have a problem now,I beg your help,Thank you every much !
My trouble is that I can't login normally,but I can login text mode.The system will tell me some message as "Server Authorization directory (daemon/ServAuthDir) is set to /var/gdm but this does not exist.Please correct gdm configuration /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf and restart gdm".The message will appear in every few seconds. I noticed that when the system startup,something have wrong.One looks as this: "Start Sm-client : can not chdir(/var/spool/clientmqueuel):Permission denied Program mode requires special privileges,e.g.,root or TrustedUser.[FAILED]" I also check the files by myself,I opened /var/gdm (/var/gdm looks like a directory,but I can "vi /var/gdm").The content is as below (6 lines): "Press ? for keyboard shortcuts "Sorted by name (.bak,~,.o,.h,.info,.swp,.obj at end of list) "=/var/gdm/ ./ fonts.cache-1 :0.Xservers I think there is a file called :0.Xservers in the directory /var/gdm/ ,and the file maybe as below(1 line): :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 At first I look for answer in internet by google,I have tried changing the attribute of /var/gdm ,but it failed still. later ,I want to use startx to get into GUI ,I see some information about your mail ,so I write to you to beg your help.Please help me ,I also give you some files copy from my computer. The files include "/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf"、"etc/X11/gdm/factory-gdm.conf"、"/etc/X11/XF86config" and "/var/log/XFree86.0.log" Thanks a lot!! xscui [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-06-20
