Hi dudes!

Here is the clue to my problems!

First (as many of you guessed) the fontpath was wrong!
There was a leading "/" missing in front of the 2nd path!

The xdm couldn't lock the pid file 'cause I mounted
the whole stuff via nfs from a workstation!

So I put the pid file in my local /tmp directory and
so xdm works now too!

Finally the mouse didn't work (Logitech). I tried to configure
it on com1 and then on com2 with all settings you can imagine!
(Emulate3Dbutton[on|off], BaudRate, Sampling Rate)
Finally I tried another mouse (microsoft) and this one worked.
So the mistake came from the mouse not from the server!

Now my logitech is also working (I'm using microsoft	"/dev/com1")

So I'm happy now, hope some of you too!!
