I believe this is a gdm bug rather than an XFree86 bug. If there is an X server already running, it stands to reason that it's only because gdm hasn't removed the previous X server invocation. In other words, the X server just runs until it is killed by something else. If it is running and gdm tries to start another one on the same display, then I would consider that to be a gdm bug, as it should either: 1) Kill the previous X server first. or 2) Start the X server on a new display. Reassigning to gdm component for further investigation/comment. Hi Christopher, I just tried to reproduce this with gdm on RHEL 3, and wasn't able to reproduce. Is there something specific about your configuration perhaps that might be causing this? What video hardware are you using, and what video driver? That might help provide additional clues as to what may be happening. Thanks in advance!
