Re: [gdm-list] GDM D-Bus on Solaris

[Brian Cameron <Brian Cameron Sun COM>]

Ray:

Thanks for the tip.  I was configuring GDM with --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 so the
dbus configuration files were not being installed to the right place.  Now
I use --sysconfdir=/etc and, after restarting D-Bus, GDM is now starting
okay and stays running.

However, it doesn't manage any displays.  I don't see any messages echoed
to the screen if I run with --no-daemon.  I do see a bunch of odd messages
in the syslog.  Messages that look like this repeat.  Full log of the
GDM D-Bus branch running on Solaris attached.

      Aug 29 01:00:28 brianca The overwriting error message was: No property 

                      pci.device_class on device with id
                      /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_0_0/pci104d_814e_3_2_2

Any ideas what this might mean?
