I am new to gnome.
I have just recently installed freebsd 7.0-BETA3 and thought I would give
gnome a try. All gnome software was built from ports and a pkg_list is
provided. I can start gnome if I login and start it with startx, but I can
not print, download files from the web etc. If change my rc.config file
(provided) to execute GDM my normal user fails, root is okay.
I believe this is all do to permissions but I am at a lost. I have search
the web with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if any other information is
required please let me know.
Thanks!
attached are:
pkg_info
rc.conf

messages - with GDM debug turned on
