OK, I give up. Can anyone explain to me why xdm now takes a full 60 seconds to load and kick in? [Celeron 433, 64M, ATI Rage 128 16M, debian 2.2r3+testing, upgraded daily.]
I'm flummoxed. It doesn't appear to be a memory-swapping problem -- more of a security-permissions related thing, as no-one but root can now run startx; and last week I was getting error messages about suspicious ownership of /tmp/.X11-unix. (No longer reproducible.) I don't know enough about X to sort this one out -- can anyone help?
