I started it with startx. This morning I tried also xdm but I had the same
result... CtrlAltBkspace doesn't work at all, the only thing I cand do is to
reboot. No other consoles do work.
My xdm-error log launching xdm is:

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems. (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)
Operating System: Linux 2.0.35 i686 [ELF]
Configured drivers:
Mach32: accelerated server for ATI Mach32 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)

I had the same results with Mach64 and mach32 servers...
f it can help during setup I chosed not to start X with a graphic login, I
answered N to the xdm setup question. Was I wrong?
