Tony: Suggestions: Try posting this to an X-Windows discussion group, eg: news:comp.os.linux.x, as well. It's rather specific to that issue. Simplify the problem. Try running X, xrdb, etc., without the intervention of xdm. 'startx' from the console command line. I personally don't use an X

Same problem with my potato box. I have changed in the /etc/inittab the default runlevel to 5 id:5:initdefault: and all works fine. I'm not sure that 5 is the right runlevel for xdm, but it works and let me use tty1 too, but not the other (tty2-10, xdm start on tty11). Bye Biko

Hello people... I am having a strange problem here with xdm. When I start it it kills the keyboard (no input possible at keyboards, numlock led is dead, but the mouse is still working). However, X runs perfectly fine. I first thought it was a hardware problem, but: I copied my system configuration

Hello! I actually updated to debian 1.3.1 and after that wasn4t able to login through xdm. The login-window wasn4t accepting any input from the keyboard. After a while a fingered out that first xdm is starting and then the getty is started so xdm is running under console 2 instead of console 7.

Hi, I had this happen to me. The problem is that you have something incorrect in your XF86Config file. You should look in the xdm-errors file mine is in /var/log/xdm-errors. This file will tell you what the error is and tell you what line of the XF86Config file it is in. I hope this helps. Pa
