Oddly enough, if I run et like this
et >> et.log 2>&1
it runs fine and gdm does not restart itself.
heres a snip from the log at least where I *think* it was failing
before... it tries to run a tty console which pam does not like, why?

Opening IP socket: localhost:27960

Started tty console (use +set ttycon 0 to disable)

gdm restarts .... no game
I've tried commenting out all of
dsotm ~ # grep console /etc/pam.d/*
/etc/pam.d/gdm:session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
/etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin:session optional /lib/security/pam_console.so
/etc/pam.d/xdm:session optional pam_console.so
/etc/pam.d/xserver:# Next line you need console ownership to be able
to start X
/etc/pam.d/xserver:#auth required pam_console.so
restarting gdm, even rebooting, same error as above.
tried setting USE="pam_console" emerge -Nva pam ... adding the login
pam_console, uncommenting all of the above lines, i just get the
Jul 26 22:41:05 dsotm gdm[8000]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X

i'm almost ready to USE="-pam" emerge -e world ...
