Hi all,
After updating to Xfree-4.0.3, I got a problem relating with
xdm when used with "X -indirect". I have the following setup

Hi,
I just upgrade XFree86 on a Sun LX to version 4.03. Now I got a
problem: the X server just dont starts. I suspect this is because my
XF86Config-4 file was wrong. Actually I don't know how to build this
file; I just copy the file from another machine (a clone of SUN SS20
actually)
