XFree86.0.log says ---- XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 18 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6 i386 [ELF] Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri Jun 7 16:56:07 2002 (EE) Unable to locate/open config file (EE) Error from xf86HandleConfigFile() Fatal server error: no screens found When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. ---- Note that I'm using ttyv8 turned on here. But if I turn it off, or substitute the path to kdm instead of xdm, I get exactly the same thing in XFree86.0.log and no .xsession-errors file. I think my computer is just cursed :) -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
