| Post subject: | R5E50 - Where is GDM? |
I just upgraded from R5D1 to R5E50. What happened to /etc/init.d/gdm ?? I cannot restart it. There is also no /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default for configuring VNC. My previously working XF86Config-4 no longer work. I did a Code: find / -name gdm and got nothing. What happened?

X11vnc appears to be started from fluxbox on my system (E50). Try connecting and use mythtv as the password. Worked for me.. EDIT: This release appears to have moved to XORG that is why some things will not be in the same place. There will no doubt be some small differences. |

 A lot of things have changed in R5E50, we've moved from the XFree86 X Server to the Xorg Server. if you want to restart Xorg from your front end, issue do the following:
root@mythtv:~# ps -ef | grep /usr/bin/X11 root 3403 3402 17 16:18 tty7 00:10:37 /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp root@mythtv:~# man kill root@mythtv:~# kill -HUP 3403 Your PID number will not likely be 3403, you'll have to use the PID output you get from your ps -ef command in your kill command.. The Ether.. |

There is no gdm in the E series. fluxbox is started from xinit. If you wish to restart it, you may try: Code: killall xinit

Wow...I didn't know that. Is xorg more advanced, or is that just the new standard? Dale wrote: ed3120 wrote: I just upgraded from R5D1 to R5E50. What happened to /etc/init.d/gdm ??

X.org has the support of the vast majority of the linux community. |

What do I need to do to use my old customized XF86Config-4 file? Is it as simple as renaming it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf - or do I need to rip the modelines out of it and do some cutting and pasting? |

X.org was written to assume you'd be converting from xfree86 at some point, so I would just copy the old config file into /etc/X11/xorg.conf and on the first run of X.org, it should be converted for you. If that doesn't work, you'll need to research the specific xfree86 options that you need and learn the equivalents for x.org. |

If you right click on the desktop and Exit. X will restart. GDM is gone and won't be coming backing. It was going away in R6, but since I started R5E50 from scratch I decided to cut it now. |

As Dale suggests above: Code: pkill X11
The X server will respawn automatically. |

I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers but It won't let me because I can't stop the Xserver. How do I stop it and prevent it from starting again? |
