gdm crashes

[Monah Baki]

Hi all,

I upgraded my freebsd 5.1 ports tree, so I can install gnome 2.4. When everything was installed, 
I tried running as root gdm, I got the following error:

gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children. 

This happens when X is about to start the login screen, flickers and drops to a shell and gives 
this error. This happens for 8 times, then this remark:

The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds, it is likely that 
something bad is going on. I will wait for 2 minutes before trying to login again on display :0.


I also patched the following

By default, I setup the system to run wmaker, so if I type startx, I can get in no problem.

Thank you
