hi,

Im a bit stuck atm.
I tried to upgrade gnome from 2.8 to 2.10 using the
upgrade script and it only upgraded about 1/4 of all
the gnome bits. I had to then go to the ports of
gnome2 and install it via that way.

When i try running gdm i get coredumps and a message
saying that it would change to another greeter. I can
login however, gnome doesn't start only bare bones
window  stuff starts.

However, when i try to run startx in my home
directory. gnome 2.10 starts up fine.

Any ideas on how to fix gdm?

oh the version is gmd-2.6.0.8_1

thanks in advance.

ps: im not on the list, so if you can be kind enough
to cc me id appreciate it.

ta :)
