In the process of trying to make xmonad work I've found that startx fails whereas xdm succeeds. The logs are here. startx fails: http://carnot.yi.org/Xorg.0.log.old xdm succeeds: http://carnot.yi.org/Xorg.0.log
My summary of the differences follows. Any insights to direct further studies? Thanks, ... Peter E. =============== Beyond the time stamp, these are the differences.
