Yes, startx works fine.
I'd still prefer to get xdm working again.
Apparently startx doesn't allow xconsole access to /dev/consile.
Anyway, this is what I get:
####> cat .xsession
#!/bin/tcsh
source ~/.tcshrc
exec ~/.xinitrc
####> cat .xinitrc
xautolock -locker slock &
xconsole &
exec mwm
####> cat .xsession-errors
Protocol not supported by server
Error: Can't open display: :0
Protocol not supported by server
Couldn't connect to :0
Protocol not supported by server
mwm: Could not open display.
####>
In fact startx works fine even without
~/.xinitrc. In that case it opens some
default windows and uses twm.
/var/log/xdm.log is not much help:
xdm info (pid 917): Starting X server on :0
xdm info (pid 4040): sourcing /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0

XIO: fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
after 169 requests (162 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Many thanks for your help
Anton
