>Description:
After using pkgsrc to compile /pkgsrc/meta-packages/gnome, gdm fails to start
with the error:
gdm[433]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period;
disabling display:0
gdm[433]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period;
disabling display:0
gdm[433]: Failed to start X server several times in a short time period;
disabling display:0
This is on a Sparc Ultra 1 with cg6 video.
>How-To-Repeat:
compile gnome from meta-packages then attempt to start gdm.
>Fix:
# Definition of the standard X server.
[server-Standard]
name=Standard server
#command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 -audit 0
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -audit 0
flexible=true
The fix is to remove the 'vt05' from the command= line under [server-Standard].
Martin Husseman suggested this as a posible fix on the port-sparc64
mailinglist, and gdm came up as it should.
