[gdm-list] FC5+ATI+Xgl+GDM Fight

[MAURICIO HENRIQUEZ SCHOTT <buho-1 entelchile net>]

Hi:

I very interesting in work with Xgl on my FC5 laptop, but I fighting with this for a week and I still have problems.
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 with a ATI Mobility Radeon X1300, after deal with this a lote, now I have 3D HW aceleration enable with the ATI propietarie driver fglrx 8.25.18. glxgears report about 1300 fps, and quake work like a charm.
But my problem now I think is related to gdm, becouse I can't boot my system in level 5, I have to start in level 3 and then do a startx, so Xgl claim with this error:

(process:2823): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2215: initialization assertion failed, use IA__g_type_init() prior to this function
...
(process:2823): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed
Can't find the PID file in the configuration file, going to try:
/var/run/gdm.pid
/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running

and also i think that may I have some other problem with GDM becouse if I run gdmsetup, I get a mesage about "Can't read configuration file, trying 1-4" or something like this. I read about this kind of problems with gdm and the ati drivers, but I don't know if I can do something else to fix gdm configuration, or jump gdm for xgl, or some other paqage, script....?

I want to help with this XGL+FC proyect, and if I achieve this I commit to write a guide in spanish and english.


...Some updates:
The problem is related with fglrx and GDM, if I use vesa driver GDM work perfectly, but with fglrx gdm stop working correctly.
Recently I update my gdm FC5 paquage, now I can boot in runlevel 5, but when gnome is loading stop responding when is loading the "Window Manager", if I turn my inittab to level 3, gnome work fine again. And is very strange, becouse if I start in level 5, KDE load correctly and if I run gdmsetup from kde, gdmsetup start correctly, but from gnome gdmsetup sen me a message like "Can't conect to socket...1-4"...and then "Can't read configuration file..."

Please tell me what other info can I post related to the problem I also a little confuse with the gdm configuration file in Fedora (FC5), the conf file is in severall places...

Any ideas??
In advance thank you very much.
