I just joined the list, so I don't know if it's exactly the same. I just CVSUPed the port tree yesterday, so as far as I know and from what I can tell from the CVS-All list, I have the current GDM. I have a fresh install of 5-Release, just did a very basic install. Added XFree86-4 via ports, then installed Gnome2. When I try to start gdm manually or via /etc/ttys, I get the generic X desktop with no console windows, then it goes right back to the terminal prompt. I've tried with and without -nodaemon (some one I talked to said this is out dated now). I'll try to give you whatever diagnostic methods you might suggest, I've already glanced over these two messages I recieved on the issue, but I'm a little short on time right now. Thanks for any help, or at least a good swift kick to the head. -B Glenn Johnson wrote: >On Fri, May 09, 2003 at 01:07:28PM -0400, Joe Marcus Clarke wrote: > > > >>On Fri, 2003-05-09 at 12:06, Glenn Johnson wrote: >> >> >> >>>I do not have the original thread on this machine so am starting >>>anew thread.
