Good morning,

as quick work around you can start gdm the old way:
/usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xxxxxxserver.sh (will start the script as late as
possible)
# erstellt: 15.11.2004
# =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

PREFIX=3D/usr/X11R6

case "$1" in
        start)
                export LANG=3Dde
                export LANGUAGE=3Dde
                export LC_TYPE=3Dde_DE.8859-15
                export LC_ALL=3Dde_DE.8859-15
                ${PREFIX}/bin/gdm
                ;;
        stop)
                /usr/bin/killall -m gdm 2>/dev/null
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: `basename $0` start | stop"
                exit 64
                ;;
esac

exit 0

Hope this will help you.

Best regards

J=FCrgen
