Hello,
I have been using XFree86 for the last week or so. Yesterday I left my desk
for about 15 minutes to help another user with a problem and when I had come
back, I found 'gnuchess' running. I terminated the program and afterwards I
can't get
xdm to work properly. (next time I'll be sure to lock my session)
The problem is that when I run xdm command I get a login screen as normal.
After I log in, all that is shown is the console which displays
>> Oct 9 07:14:01 info2 rnews: cant open_remote Connection refused
>> Oct 9 07:28:36 info2 kernel: PS/2 auxiliary pointing device detected --
driver installed.
There are no xterm windows. If I click on the mouse buttons the window
manager menus don't appear. Basically all that I get is the console and the
grey background colour.
When I run the 'startx' command everything runs fine. I can customize xterm
windows, use the window manager and run the applications such as xload,
xclock etc.
I am wondering if someone can tell me why this is occuring. Below is the
contents of the xdm-config file. I have checked the .xsession-errors file
and no errors are reported and the XF86Config file is unchanged.
Thanks in advance,
Tej
