Everything runs nicely with startx or xinit, but when I run xdm (by hand) and log in I get the same login window back and either a xsm core dump (if there is no .xsession) or nothing at all, if there is a dumb .xsession. Could anybody give me a hint, where to look for the problem? (I downloaded from ftp.de.freebsd.org, if this should matter) Thanks, Axel Thimm. -- Axel Thimm thimm@physik.fu-berlin.de thimm@ifh.de
