I had the same problem, and I found that there were a couple of things that could be behind it.... first it could be a bad xsession file, or it could be an issue with the window manager, either it's not correctly installed, or the /etc/X11/window-managers file is trying to start a windowmanager that doesn't exist (probably twm....)
R. >>> Nico De Ranter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/04/99 03:14AM >>> Howdy, I don't know whether this is the correct mailinglist to post this but anyway... I upgraded my Debian box to unstable and installed gdm. Unfortunately when I try to login the screen flickers a few times and the gdm screen pops back. When I start X by typing startx from a text console everything works fine. I noticed this problem on a few PC's that have been upgraded to potato so I think it's a bug and not a misconfiguration. I now potato is called "unstable" for something but I hope somebody has a workaround or fix for this.
