Hi all, I am trying to get gdm going on XFree86 4.3-STABLE. I have added a user and a group named gdm. When I start gdm and try to login I get the following messages in the console window that I launched gdm from : Jun 18 11:43:49 ford gdm[615]: no modules loaded for `gdm' service Jun 18 11:43:49 ford gdm[615]: Couldn't open session for waynep If I edit /etc/pam.conf and copy the xdm stuff, and change xdm to gdm, then restart gdm, then I just get : Jun 18 11:46:11 ford gdm[644]: Couldn't open session for waynep I am guessing that I don't have the right settings in my pam.conf. man gdm says that there is no man page for gdm installed. Am I right in guessing that this is related to PAM? Can anyone advise me on a solution ?
