Hi,

yesterday I installed gdm-2.2.3.2, and tried to make it work. I've
been at it a whole day now, but I'm not getting any further.

First of all, after port installation, I manually created a user/group gdm,
and copied the needed lines to /etc/pam.conf like pkg-message told me to.
Then I had to

chown gdm:gdm /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm
chmod 750 /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gdm

before gdm would even start.

After I did this, the only thing I got when starting gdm was a nice
standard X screen, with the moire background and cross cursor, and
nothing more. Nothing at all.

I tried turning the debug option on in /usr/X11R6/etc/gdm/gdm.conf,
but no luck. Below is the typical output of a run. After
the logger message 'root: in init' which I added in etc/gdm/Init/Default,
the screen stays at the initial X screen. I can't find any evidence of
a greeter running. Replacing the greeter in gdm.conf with an xterm also
doesn't work, no xterm got run.

I'm stumped right now. Has anybody got a setup that works?
