gdm only works once

[Steiner, Bernard]

Hello world,
my GNOME keeps crashing my system so I thought it might be a good idea to install a /boot.config containing -D.
I get a nice serial console this way which might come in handy when the GNOME next fries the system beyond network access.
Unfortunately, gdm now starts up only once, and upon logging out some gdm-binaries just sit there doing nothing much.
It is perfectly possible to startx, though.
I have now removed boot.config and gdm starts up nicely multiple times after logging out.

This is very very sub-optimal as I have threatened the system to install windoze after the next crash...

Any ideas how to get gdm working properly alongside a serial console ?

As a side note: Going single user from the gdm-not-doing-anything appears to switch off the syscons screen
(the monitor says no signal) but the keyboard keeps working, so everything is back to normal after
shutdown now
CR
CTRL-D
