Hi all, I upgraded my freebsd 5.1 ports tree, so I can install gnome 2.4. When everything was installed, I tried running as root gdm, I got the following error: gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children. This happens when X is about to start the login screen, flickers and drops to a shell and gives this error. This happens for 8 times, then this remark: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that something bad is going on. I will wait for 2 minutes before trying to login again on display :0. I also patched the following http://people.freebsd.org/~marcus/pam_get_user.c.diff By default, I setup the system to run wmaker, so if I type startx, I can get in no problem. Thank you
