Okay, well I've made some progress, but still can't get gdm/gnome running with 2.2. I've fixed my XFree86 install, and I have 4.2.1 running. All of the ports mentioned above are installed. I am able to run xf86cfg graphically and configure, and I can run X using startx, which loads fine. However, when I do: sudo /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/gdm.sh start I get: Feb 13 01:28:56 lilbuddy gdm[15381]: Failed to start the display server several times in a short time period; disabling display :0 So, my problems seem to be specifically with gnome 2.2. I was running gnome 2.0 with no problems before doing a portupgrade -ra and getting the new gnome 2.2 stuff installed. I did have a fairly goofy XFree86 install, granted, but it ran. In any case, my /var/log/:0.log and /var/log/XFree86.0.log show no errors. gdm just isn't starting up. Where can I look for clues? I've tried installing /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 again just to make sure nothing is missing, but it says everything is found. Perhaps I should cvs and portupgrade? I'm stuck... -- Mark Edwards San Francisco, CA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
