On my machine, gdm behaves the same whether in graphical mode or not. I.e., if I set it up to do graphical, the greeter with the flower appears and accepts username and hange. If I set it up for non-graphical, the greeter with the face browser appears, accepts the username and hangs. I suspect the graphical problem is somehow unique to your machine. BTW, you explanation of how you restart gdm is wrong. Gdm will not restart correctly if you just kill -1 1 because init will not correctly kill gdm. You have to force it off with 'killall gdm' to make sure that you kill the original gdm process, otherwise you are probably still running the originally spawned gdm from your startup. Whenever you kill gdm, check with ps before and after to make sure you really killed it. I bet the results will surprise you, and I think the method you are using is causing some of the odd things you are seeing, especially with the graphical browser issue. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
