xdm doesn't run as daemon

2009-02-05 Thread Anton Shterenlikht
After upgrades of 23-24 Jan 2009 xdm is not working:

# xdm
# ps ax|grep xdm
75632  p1  S+ 0:00.01 grep xdm
# cat /var/log/xdm.log
#

So no xdm daemon.

My system: FreeBSD 6.4-STABLE alpha, xdm-1.1.8_1.

Any ideas?

1) May we see /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
2) Does "startx" work?

This is a headless box, I don't run X server on it.
I connect to it via XDMCP and run clients.
So I've neither /var/log/Xorg.0.log nor startx on this box.

It worked fine until the upgrade.

I'm now thoroughtly confused by dbus and hal issues. So in case
it matters I run neither hald nor dbus-daemon on this box.

many thanks
anton

It terminates straight away

# xdm &
[1] 82938
#
[1]Done  xdm
#

with empty /var/log/xdm.log

Perhaps I should check which libraries xdm is built with and
try to rebuild those? But I think I've done this already.

thanks anyway
anton
