GDM

[frankie <frankie@skunkpussy.freeserve.co.uk>]

Hi,

I know gnome and potato are dodgy beta software :-), but...

I am tring to run gdm with the 3.3.3.3.3.3 SVGA X server, mostly potato.

I have previously had xdm, login.app &c installed with this setup with
no problems.

However, when I installed gdm, the gdmwelcome screen comes up ok. When I
select the user and try and login however, x dies, with this error
message in the log:


gdm_auth_secure_display: Could not unlink
/var/state/gdm/authdir/:0.xauth file: No such file or directory

However, when it restarts, that file exists.

Any idea what is going wrong here?

cheers,
frankie
