Hi
the gdm login gets split between my two monitors. It works, looks ugly, so i want to change it.
I changed the PositionY, PositionX, ... parameters, but the greeter didn't move a bit.
In fact, i can't make any changes to the look of gdm using /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
changes i make using nano /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, show up in gdmconfig and vice versa.
Ah yes, i use:
gdm-2.6.0.6
xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1
...
i get
error stopping gdm [!!]
at shutdown too.
what should i do?

I don't have a dual monitor setup, so I can't help with that, but... | baikingu wrote: |

The "error stopping gdm" message happens because by the time "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" is run, gdm has already quit. It's not a bug. See [url= https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8579]this bug[/url] for details. It happens because you've issued the shutdown command from within gdm (either at the gdm greeter screen, or through an xterm or whatever). If you drop to a virtual console (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F[1-6]) and issue the shutdown command while gdm is still running, you won't get the error.
