I believe this is a problem with the ATI proprietary driver. I was having the same issue. I disabled the ATI driver and now only one instance of gdm is spanwed.
This is with Ibex on an ATI x300 card - Dell Optiplex G280. -- [gutsy] Two instances of gdm running after boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/136329 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
