whenever I implement xdm from root, it loops back onto itself. In other words, xdm starts, I log in (either as myusername or root), type in the appropriate password, and then: 1) Screen blanks out for a sec 2) X Window "seems" to start (i.e. the grey background comes up for a split second) 3) The login screen appears again, and I have to login again 4) Repeats 1-3 again...and again...again... I have to end up "sneaking" in CTRL-ALT-DEL right after typing in the password just to shut down the machine. I have typed the wrong password, and I do get the login incorrect...this part seems ok.
