Dear List I am a Newbie to XDM, Gnome 2.2, XFree86, etc on Debian.
I installed all the necessary packages and Gnome 2.2 runs very smooth when I get it running with 'startx'. When I do the same as normal User Gnome starts but crashes immediately and I land at the XDM Login again. I did do dpkg-reconfigure of xservers-common and set the 'startup-security to console users'. My log of ~/.xsession-errors (normal user, not root) tells me that the fonts are not installed correctly. I think that the fonts are installed correctly otherwise I could not perfectly do 'startx' as root-user. My questions now are: 1. What can I do to start Gnome as normal user via 'startx' or 'XDM'? 2. Witch logs can I search to get more information for my failure? 3. Why can I start as root but not as normal user? Thanks for an help and hints.
