After emerge update, impossible to login with gdm. First, I was surprised to see that my /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf is not used anymore. So, I used /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf, surely not the good way. This is a ldap client, but all worked well before, and now, I even can login in console, but impossible with gdm. /var/log/auth.log : Jul 15 02:20:51 rl gdm(pam_unix)[9878]: session opened for user regine by (uid=0) Jul 15 02:20:51 rl gdm(pam_unix)[9878]: session closed for user regine /var/log/syslog : Jul 15 02:20:51 rl gdm[9878]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler : erreur X fatale - Red

the output from the postinst states: einfo "GDM has changed the location of its configuration file. Please" einfo "edit /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf. The factory defaults are located" einfo "at /usr/share/gdm/{defaults.conf,factory-defaults.conf}"
Ok, i didn't see that because it's a gentoo diskless, and /var/log is in tmpfs, so no emerge log after reboot. I use custom.conf now, but : 1) it's not used by gdm 2) that doesn't solve my login problem. I think I will unmerge gdm and emerge kdm that I use on all my PCs, but this one is a diskless gentoo and I didn't want to install all kdelibs just for kdm...
please submit the error in english ( or translate it )
??? gdm doesn't work. I can't use my login/password, it returns back to login menu (gdm), and never start my session. I really don't know how to say it differently. I already gave all what my logs say. But, nevermind, I'm switching to kdm.
your message is not in english: " /var/log/syslog : Jul 15 02:20:51 rl gdm[9878]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler : erreur X fatale - Red
your message is not in english: " /var/log/syslog : Jul 15 02:20:51 rl gdm[9878]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler : erreur X fatale - Redémarrage de :0 " if gdm.conf still exists, it will use that instead of custom.conf ( for backwards compat. ) Did you test by removing your gdm.conf first?

I had both at my last try. > Did you test by removing your gdm.conf first? No, sorry.
marking needinfo since reporter switched to kdm. please re-open if you are willing to provide more information.
