Help!
I must have broken something, but I don’t know what. SUMMARY:
Suse 10.1, and gdm was working fine on the :0 screen as well as on Xvnc. Something
changed (or broke), and now the login screen never comes up on :0, and Xvnc
brings up a stippled gray window but never brings up the login box. I’ve
run gdm with debug true and have put the output at the end of this message. I
tried running strace on the Xserver, but gdm seems to try to start strace with
:0, which wasn’t very useful. There are no iptables-dropped packets
anywhere, so not a firewall issue. I
do know that Xsetup is getting called, but Xsession never gets invoked. Any
hints as to how to debug this would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks Benn May
