Resolving Issues With the GNOME Display Manager (6277164)

Perform this procedure before you use the GNOME Display Manager (GDM) as your login program, or if you have already enabled GDM as your login program. Otherwise, you can skip this procedure.

When applying the patch, load new values into the GDM configuration files. Then restart the GDM application.

1. To load the new values into the configuration file, choose one of the following options.

   • Copy the /etc/X11/gdm/factory-gdm.conf file to the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file.

     Perform this step if you have not made any modifications to the gdm.conf file. Then you can start the GDM application.

   • Manually merge the differences in the factory-gdm.conf file into the gdm.conf file.

     Perform this step if you have modified the gdm.conf file and want to retain your modifications.

     When merging files, copy the values for the following commands from the factory-gdm.conf file to the gdm.conf file. These commands enable you to obtain the best OS performance.

     • RebootCommand

     • HaltCommand

     • SuspendCommand

     • DefaultPath

     • RootPath

     • GraphicalTheme

2. To restart GDM, perform the following steps:

   1. Become superuser.

   2. Issue the following command:

      # svcadm disable application/gdm2-login

   3. In the console that is now displayed, press Return to display a command prompt.

   4. To restart GDM, issue the following command:

      # svcadm enable application/gdm2-login
