After update of xorg-x11-xinit and a number of other packages today I'm seeing X respawning too quickly and fails to start via gdm. Things seem to be working (albeight very slowly, much more so than normal) when I startx as a normal user.

xorg-x11-xinit-1.0.7-5.fc9.x86_64

I'm not sure yet what is responsible just noting what changed.

I see warnings in Xorg.0.log regarding acpi which I'll post shortly. This is running the new kernel today and the previous (2.6.24.1-28 and 2.6.24.1-31).

GDM loads, crashes and respawns in a forever loop with the current version gdm-2.21.7-1.fc9.i386 installed. X starts fine from runlevel 3. Runlevel 5 is currently ruinlevel 5.

Pretty sure this is due to the SELinux updates, not xorg-x11-xinit or
gdm.
Try booting with enforcing=0 (or switching back to runlevel 5 after
running "setenforce 0". Worked for me.

I mentioned this on the (draft!) rawhide status page: http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/rawhide.html

-w


Booting with enforcing=0 still left gdm respawning again and again. I booted in runlevel 3 after trying runlevel 5 with enforcing=0 with no problems. Its better to have a busted gdm than X, the kernel or a critical service failing.

Its an xi386 problem anyway and not related to vmware or x86_64. I guess it is off topic.
