The GNOME Session Manager (process 262) has crashed due to a fatal error (Segmentation fault). XFree86-fontScalable-4.2.0 port is installed, FontPath statements are in place in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Will check the logs to make sure there were no errors initializing the font paths. > > Also tried running gdm from /etc/ttys, but the interface hangs > > after any user input.

All I did was install the /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 metaport. Starting gdm2 from an rc script doesnt work either, all I get is the screen you would get if you started X without a window manager. -F To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
