#71 vglserver_config not working on Debian 7 (wheezy)

[Carlos Álvarez]

Hello,
I was trying to configure VirtualGL on a fresh installation of Debian 7 (Wheezy) and I was not able to exec vglrun properly due to a misconfiguration.

I checked all the configuration steps and I found that the "vlgserver_config" script doesn't work properly due to a path change for GDM in Debian 7.
Now in Debian 7, the GDM config is located at "/etc/gdm3" and not in "/etc/gdm".
So everything I did in order to make the script working was to create a symbolic link from "/etc/gdm3" to "/etc/gdm". After doing this, the script stablished the correct "vglgenkey" lines in the "Init/Default" file.

So I think it'd be necesary to add a new line in the "vglserver_config" script with /etc/gdm3 directory.

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Fix checked into trunk. You'll have to test it for me, since I don't have access to a Debian machine (and it doesn't want to install under VirtualBox for some reason.) If you could also test whether vglserver_config's setting of the device permissions works under Wheezy, that would be great. Disabling/enabling XTEST will not work, since the Xorg command line is not exposed on this platform (and most other modern Linux distros.)
