I should also note that I have been running all versions of rawhide on top of an original install of Redhat 6.0. I do not upgrade the kernel with the rest of the rawhide package. I build my own kernels. Please close this issue. The bug was resolved with this latest release of rawhide... rawhide-release-19990907-1 Thankyou. Note... the /etc/X11/prefdm script still echos "/usr/bin/gdm" to the terminal when starting up. Benign, but doesn't look good. Closed, as per bug reporter's request. |
rawhide-release-19990901-1 gdm is denied access to the Xserver... and cannot start up. I also tried KDE and AnotherLevel in the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. KDM and the XDM work okay as long as you don't choose GNOME as the session type. Moving back to init level 4 and running a startx works fine for gnome. root and normal user work the same. An strace on the gdm process shows it looking for /root/.Xauthority while on a functional system running rawhide-release-19990730-1, gdm correctly finds the /var/gdm/:0.xauth file.
