, and gdmsetup is complaining about:

Code:
localhost ~ # gdmsetup

(gdmsetup:16012): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set cell text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as &

(gdmsetup:16012): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set cell text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 2 char 9: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text

(gdmsetup:16012): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set cell text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as &

(gdmsetup:16012): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set cell text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 2 char 9: Invalid UTF-8 encoded text


Also, is it possible to configure the geometry of the gdm login screen? It's badly centered.

I'm using GNOME 2.14.

Are you using default theme or custom one for GDM?

I tried all kinds of themes and the default one as well. I think it's looking for a font that doesn't exist so it reverts to fixed, smallest size which is unreadable at 1280x1024.

Cleaned up my xorg.conf and things are looking much better now. Not really sure what was causing gdm to select a weird resolution though.
