that's a harmless warning related to the smart card code. It should probably only be printed if debugging is enabled though.
(In reply to comment #1) > that's a harmless warning related to the smart card code. It should probably > only be printed if debugging is enabled though. I have the same issue on my Fedora 7 laptop. My question is this, what is the "smart card code"? Is it something built into the GDM binary. I'm hoping its something that I can uninstall to rid my messages log of this warning.
as a workaround, I think if you install coolkey the message should go away.
I'm not so sure if it's harmless. I no longer have a gui nor can I see the console on my system (ssh still works). I have the following error messages in /var/log/messages: Feb 12 15:11:32 estrella gdm[17038]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0 Feb 12 15:11:40 estrella gdm[18706]: (null): cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Feb 12 15:11:42 estrella gdm[18740]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 12 15:11:48 estrella gdm[18761]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 12 15:11:53 estrella gdm[18796]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Feb 12 15:11:53 estrella gdm[18706]: deal_with_x_crashes: Running the XKeepsCrashing script There are no warnings or errors with the nv or nvidia drivers in /var/log/Xorg.0.log .

can you turn on Enable=true in the [debug] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf and post /var/log/messages with the updated debugging messages?
Created attachment 294843 [details] estrella_gdmDebug.log grep -i gdm /var/log/messages , with Enable=true in /etc/gdm/custom.conf under [debug] section.
Also noted with RHEL 5 update 1 (and was probably present prior to U1).
Hi, We no longer support Fedora Core 6 and I am currently trying to get my open bug count down to a more manageable state. I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX. If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on a supported version of Fedora and reopening? (this is a mass message)
