I remember that there was a problem with some early XFree 4.x, where the
default configuration was broken.  I don't remember the details, but it's
possible to fix by recompiling with the correct options.  It was discussed
here, or maybe in -chat.  Maybe this jogs someone's memory?

Thank you for responding.
Well, I recompiled XFree 4.0.1_8 with the Makefile that was obtained by 
the ports collection, so if there were known bugs or problems targeting
only the right way to compile it should be fixed by the make routines offered
by the ports collection.

For the first I downgraded my XDM serving host to XFree 3.3.6, hope to get
rid of the older XFree in the future when this nasty and hair-costing problem
has been solved.

Thank you :-)

Wishes, 
Oliver
