I installed mandrake 8.1 and have been playing around with
XFree86-4.1.0 in order to get XDMCP working. I have found that
this installation uses /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to start
the window managers. This file is built from files in /etc/X11/xdm.
This is different from Mandrake 7.

I finnlly got X-win32 on my winpc to see the x login on the server
but now I seem to have broken X and not sure what exactly I have
done to break it. I can't log into the console but can telnet in.
I get the error msg in /var/log/messages:

kdm[3518]: Server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly 
           last message repeated 2 times    
kdm[3518]: Display :0 is being disabled (restarting too fast)

Any ideas what could be causing this?

/etc/inittab is:

  x:5:respawn:/etc/X11/prefdm -nodaemon
