Re: XDM screen

Well Chuck,
It is Christmas eve, and one never knows whats is in the parcels.
XF86 may be one. I have just slipped off the persons around me
that want to watch a movie (on TV) that I don't like.

I am not sure this will help, but try it out. Start your X by startx
(not xdm). What (how) ever the X comes up try [Ctrl][Alt] Fn where
Fn is the function button with n being your log in screen (F1-F6).
This may give you some hints of what failed in your X start up that is
not always logged in the /var/adm/XFree86...log file, if ever.

Have a nice Christmas and a Happy New year. Attached pic. is
guaranteed virus free.

Hans.

>Okay..I totally n00b'd on this problem. I had the default(?) xdm login screen,a greyish rectangle with Welcome to localhost and the XFree86 map logo. Now I have a big box that says X Window System, toally huge in the middle of the screen.(I had moved the logo'd one to the bottom) The only thing I did was remove some packages, most unrelated. The only package I removed with stuff in /usr/X11R6 was openmotif, but I have since put it back,with no change. I also changed my  Xservers file add the -dpi 120 switch.
