>Hello all, > >I have had the following problem no 2 different hamm systems: > >They are configured to start xdm on booting. One machine uses >the S3 xserver, one uses the SVGA xserver. When starting the system, >the screen will flash (xdm keeps trying to start X) and the only way I >have been able to recover is to reset the machine (sometimes ctrl-alt-delete >works, sometimes I have to push the big button). > >The S3 machine was reloaded from scratch, and the problem appears to have >gone away. I removed all the X programs from the machine using the SVGA >server and reinstalled X but the problem is still there. Startx and xinit >work fine. > >I think this is related to bug 6468 - when switching to a text console >then back this behaviour happened (paraphrased to protect the guilty). > >Any clues to a solution? If not, this is a pretty nasty bug to release >on an unsuspecting user (read - I'll file a new bug report on xbase) > Go into your /var/log/xdm-errors or some such file name and see what the problem is.
