Description Qin Jue Hang 2011-12-02 15:28:07 UTC

gdm requires dbus, but the xdm script does not depend on dbus. Hence, if gdm is used, and parallel boot is enabled, xdm does not start when init starts, with an error message about dbus. A simple fix would be to make xdm depend on dbus, however that would assume the user is not running a simplistic system with no dbus. Perhaps there could be a dbus useflag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select gdm in /etc/conf.d/xdm
2.Enable parallel boot in rc.conf
3.Boot
Actual Results:  
gnome does not start, requires manual #/etc/init.d/xdm restart

Expected Results:  
gnome starts

Problem only manifests with parallel boot

Add the line

  rc_use="dbus"

to your /etc/conf.d/xdm file...

This was fixed in x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.2-r2
