[Grml] gnome disaster

More info -
this is not a fglrx issue, as it occurs with any driver.
Notice the difference in the log marked root, where I directly logged in
to gnome as root - the desktop environment simply works.
The one marked yazdzik does not.
Somewhere, the binary that starts the gnome desktop environment appears
not to have permission to use the screen, since gdm is apparently
started as root. This hypothesis is borne out by the fact that if I
log in as root then switch user to yazdzik without logging out,
everything is fine.
This must have something to do with the way the xorg file is set up, or
some security thing.
Note as well: if I edit the xorg.conf file by hand and remove the
monitor that grml-x installs, it is there again on the reboot, so I
would like a way to try to write my own xorg.conf and not have it
touched on the reboot. Is this possible?
Or a solution whereby I can log in to gnome without the workaround would
be better... ;)
At any rate, this is definitely either a gdm or
gnome-desktop-environment issue that has more to do with, I think, some
grml install issues, since obviously, fglrx works in ubuntu and debian
same basic setup.
Enclosed please find root and user gdm logs and my xorg.conf.
Thanks for not losing patience on this thorny issue, as the last grml
install was perfect in every way. (hdd died over the holidays....)
best to all,
martin
