Symptoms
Some users would like to use gdm login manager instead of the default cde login manager(dtlogin).
However, gdm fails to start on SPARC T-series server and the users probably get the following error.
Feb 26 14:07:17 xxxxxxx gdm[12722]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] gdm_secondary_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
Feb 26 14:07:24 xxxxxxx gdm[12721]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to start X server several times in a short time period; disabling
display :0
Feb 26 14:07:24 xxxxxxx gdm[12721]: [ID 702911 daemon.error] Failed to start X server several times in a short time period; disabling
display :0
Changes
This could happen immediately after disabled cde-login and enable gdm2-login.
$ svcadm disable cde-login
$ svcadm enable gdm2-login
$ svcadm enable gdm2-login
