About a month or so ago I lost the ability to use my GDM to log in. I
can log in using XDM which has to be called from the command line. When
my system is booting it loads gdm, but when it finishes booting instead
of starting X, it leaves me at the at the command line. I can then log
in as root but when I type gdm it tells me gdm is already running. At
one point it told me that I had no screens configured or XDMCP is
disabled. I have unmerged gdm and re-emerged it.
I have rebuilt my xorg.conf. I have removed my /etc/X11/gdm.conf and
then ran gdmconfig. Even double checked rc.conf (no changes there).
All of which has been a learning experience but is alas fruitless.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log comes up clean execpt for a warning about APM and a
warning while probing the nvidia video card.
All hints will be tried and greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
