Hi, I am running XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 on debian unstable. I have tried to run xdm in the past and it has always ended up locking my keyboard and the Xfree86 process ends up taking upto 95% CPU. I had the same problem with gdm too. The mouse works fine, but the keyboard is completely dead. At this point I have to log in remotely and kill the process, the keyboard never recovers and I end up rebooting the box. I have seen some previous posts saying that xdm garbles up the display after the first login and then locks up. But I have never been able to get xdm to work at all. I spoke with some users on #debian (OPN) and there were some others who said they had similar problems with xdm.
I do not have any of these problems when I run plain X (using startx). I had some suggestions (from #debian on OPN) that the problem was with my X configuration. I got the exact same results even when I tried running xdm using a config file generated by xf86cfg. I am running xdm with the default config files installed by the package. Could you guys give me pointers to what could be possibly wrong with this? If you need to look at any config files etc.. let me know and I will post them to the list. Do I need to file a bug report about this? or is something wrong with my configuration? Thank you Aravind Gottipati __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
