Spiller) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: HELP -- xdm won't work Date: 5 Nov 1994 23:01:23 GMT Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 26 Message-ID: <39h2s3$ojr@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: rich.eecs.berkeley.edu Hi - I am having a slight problem with xdm - namely, it doesn't work. I spent some time going through the man page, and set up all the necessary files in my /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm directory. When my machine boots up, the xdm page does come up (and X starts). When I log in, it gives the normal *zink* for my monitor changing sync, and then it goes back to the xdm screen.... I know that one potential problem would be the des vs nodes xdm, but I double checked that I am using the nodes version, so I don't think that that is it... Has anyone else encountered this problem? (also, does anyone have an actual Xserver file that they use on their machine? I am wondering if mine is setup wrong...) Thanks, Mark D. Spiller mds@ic.eecs.berkeley.edu
