[gentoo-user] two questions about gdm

[gentoo-user] two questions about gdm

[Matthias Langer]

I've two questions about gdm (I use version 2.8.0.3):

1.) Recently I recognized that I get the following error message when 
logging in via gdm:

"The configuration file contains
 an invalid command line for the
 login dialog, so using the default
 command. Please fix your
 configuration."

Because of the fact that I'm normally logged in automatically by gdm, I 
can't say which upgrade led to this
problem, but at least I've never edited any of gdms config files myself. 
Maybe someone can tell me which file
is responsible for this mess, and maybe how to fix that ...

2.) Is there a way to force gdm to use a user defined screen resolution 
without messing around with xorg.conf ?

Thanks, Matthias

I had that problem too, I jusy went into the gdm confog dialog and fiddled
about, cannot remember what I changed , but it fixed it.

If you are like me you use something in gnome to set the screen res, but
that has no effect in gdm? I get the same, dunno how to fix it other than
going into xorg.conf
