Re: XDM doesn't start after Gnome installation!

[richard harding southsomerset gov uk]

     You might check that that whichever window manager you use is in your 
     path - I had a similar problem with enlightenment not starting when I 
     used gnome-session - cured by adding the path for enlightnement
     
     I use tarballs not packages so ymmv
     
     - its worth the hasle though - it gets more stable by the day :)
     
     Cheers

Hi,
I re-installed gnome (gmc gnome-control-center gnome-panel gnome-session 
gnome-game gnome-terminal gnome-utils) with the apt-get installation 
tool from Debian after an erroneous installation. This far, I didn't 
have any trouble or error message. Of course, some libs had to be 
updated to fulfill dependencies with the packages. I then restarted to 
the login screen but it didn't start again. I'm unable to login through 
XDM.
The screen shows the typical movements of the Xserver trying to come up, 
but the screen keeps black. What can be the difficulty? Can it be that 
some libs that are used by XDM where also updated and now show 
incompatibilties with other XDM packages? Apt-get should realize this 
dependency problems... Did anybody experience this as well?
I use Debian 2.0 ("Hamm"). Any answer to what I should do are welcome. 
Thanx,
Marcio Cordero
