Yes. I have been meaning to post nearly exactly the same message for 2 days, that Doug did, except I did not draw the authorization conclusion conclusioion , because that bit is missing from my own output. I am having a nearly identical problem on a Toshiba Satellite 1695 CDT, ATI Rage Pro LT card, running Xfree86 4.2.0 on 4.6-RELEASE. I subsequently removed all of X11R6 and rebuilt from fresh sources with the same result. startx runs fine, xdm resets and wont run. Running xdm -debug (n) produces lots more log output, and the server never resets, but the login screen never loads, and xdm never completes. (I 'm sure my new X build is good, I've even built it on a crufty old FreeBSD 3.0-Release development machine laset week to get some new video cards supportted, and it runs great.) I will be happy to send log output as Doug did; pardon the typing, broke 2 bones in my hand two days ago, so typing ( and posting ) isnot going too well. Doug, just in case this is OT fro freebsd, maybe we should be looking at the bug report form at XFree86.org ( thats what I was mulling over since my rebuild from sources.) [Also, I have Shifler and Getty's "X-Window Sysyem" reference here on my desk if anyone wants me to look up something to help us solve this. :) ] Ouch, Guy F.
