    <thetext># rpm -qf /etc/init.d/dm
xinitrc-2.4.34-alt2
# 

I suggest that the virtual Linux console where a *dm will be run is correctly set up for displaying Russian messages, because if X fails to run, the *dm may want to display a Russian message or dialog, like in the case below:

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #26660 +++

gdm2.20-2.20.8-alt6 in the live system in Simply Linux 6.0.2 RC2 DVD.

Something happened with the running X (perhaps, I/O problem with the DVD) and X finished; after that, there was some error dialog in the Linux console (number 8), but it is unreadable because black squares are displayed instead of the Russian letters, like this:

[root@localhost ~]# setterm -dump 8; cat screen.dump

                                                      ������������������������������������������������Ĵ
                                                      �                   &lt;  OK  &gt;                     �
                                                      �������������������������������������������������





























[root@localhost ~]# 

I suggest to either use English for the console messages of GDM or to set up the console correctly for displaying the Russian messages.
