| Why not start xdm from /etc/ttys ?
I think my reasoning was that the X server will simply take the first
available virtual console, and while that is fairly predictable, if
something breaks there is a potential surprise there. Possibly even a
race condition between the X server and a bunch of gettys?
| Outa curiousity does xdm work normally if you don't start svscan?
Oh, yes. That's how I run it now. What I really should do next is
to run svscan but not xdm at startup to see what happens then. It's
just that when every failed experiment requires a hit to the reset
button, with subsequent fsck-ing before I can get back to work, I tend
to put it off.
