It just looks like this: # gdm # The gdm daemon seems to be running though, because if you type "gdm" again at the prompt, You get: # gdm # GDM already running. Aborting! Something must have changed with gdm in gnome 2.18, but that issue is not covered in the gnome2.18 Installation Instructions. I don't know how to start gdm/gnome now. I posted that question in bsdforums.org also and got the following response so far: "Try to install gnome instead from packages from ports Packages are not for 7.2 xorg yet so several problems may arrive." I don't know if that is true, as I want to believe that the 6-stable-packages are coherent with each other. Please help and update the Gnome Installation Instructions if/as needed. Thanks, Werner
