Hi, wdm is not looping. It is just dying, and when it dies, the X restarts as it normally would when wdm exits because, for example, you exited your session. Basically, you have to find out why is wdm dying. From the error log you sent below, it looks like an error while loading an image or

Put your /boot under 1GB and put everything needed to boot all your OSes inside /boot, including all boot sectors from other OSes AND silo.conf (put a symlink /etc/silo.conf - /boot/silo.conf). The reason is that silo reads its conf file at runtime (meaning that you don't need to re-run silo when

Hi, I just had the same problem. By doing an strace on a direct invocation of the Xsun X server, I noticed it tryed to access() a lot of framebuffer like devices on /dev (cgsix, cgthree, bwtwo,...) of which the last one was /dev/fb and then gave up. I then symlinked /dev/fb to /dev/fb0 (ln -s

Hi, I have Debian slink (which I upgrade weekly with apt) installed in a bare bones SS4 and I'm having this bug, which seems not to be reported in the bug tracking system (so far as I could check). Can anyone with python (1.5.1-7) and python-tk (1.5.1-7) confirm this bug for me? vader:~$ python
