There are no errors. In fact, not even the "dot" appears, and there is no newline. Approximately: $ /etc/init.d/gdm start Starting GDM Display Manager: gdm$ _ > Are there some errors in /var/log/gdm/:0.log ? None that I could notice. It mentions some warnings, one regarding keyboard, and some more, then the log abruptly ends. Would you like a copy of the log? I'll paste it when I'm next on my PC. If I remember correctly, I tried to launch /usr/sbin/gdm directly under root, and it worked. Possibly some problem with init.d script? -- Ivan Vučica -- Croatia --
