Hey everybody!

I just installed sarge on my PowerBookG4 and I am having issues starting
gdm.  I am new to the specifics of the configuration of X and I don't know
where to start.

During installation the PB complained about not being able to find an X
server, but I don't know what the means.

If I remember correctly, I had to install XFree86 separately from KDE on my G4/350 before kdm (KDE's equivalent to gdm) would start. Run 'aptitude' or your preferred method for browsing/installing packages, and install AT LEAST


xserver-xfree86
xserver-common (I'm not sure if this is the name or if it's xfree86-common)
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-100dpi

Anyway, just look for things like xserver, xfree86, and xfonts, and install until you can run gdm

HTH.

When gdm starts it tells me there is an error and asks if I would like to
see the output, it also says 'Caught signal 11'... any help?

Thanks as always, anything is appreciated!!
