FreeBSD 4.11 STABLE, Gnome 2.10 Yesterday I ran a conplete port update. I hoped it would fix a problem that turned up about a week ago, but the only change was that now gdm does not start. 1. What is the recommended way to have gdm start at the end of the boot sequence? It was working fine until this morning. I checked that gdm.sh is in /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d and that looked fine. I fiddled with /etc/ttys in what I think was the old way, like this: #ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon" xterm off secure ttyv8 "/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure This works, but I should have had to change anything. This may be related to my second problem. 2. When I click on Desktop / Log Out gdm-binary goes nuts, stealing more and more cpu time, eventually over 90%. If I cancel the logout, the load *does not* return to normal. I had my system set to dim the desktop when the logoff confirmation window was displayed. Now it does not dim. When I log off I get an error message that multiload-applett-2 has quit unexpectedly. I assume that's because it is being flooded. While troubleshooting this issue I noticed that gdm-binary is quite active all the time, generally third or forth in process table displayed by the "top" command. Why woiuld it need to be so active when I'm already logged on? It should be dormant, at the bottom of the list. I also have a problem with sound, but I think it is unrtelated and will post separately. Gary Dunn Honolulu knowtree@aloha.com
