What login manager are you using Gdm or Xdm, I have been using Gdm |
| 115 |
untill a while back and now after an update my X will not start using |
| 116 |
gdm in my /etc/rc.conf. If I change it to Xdm in /etc/rc.conf or type |
| 117 |
it in manually then X starts and I can get in Gnome. Changing the |
| 118 |
Nvidia drivers has had no effect. |
