[-- Attachment #1 --] As simple as this seems to be I cannot get xdm and twm to play together. What I would like to be able to do is log in using xdm and have the same end result as if I had logged in from a text console and issued "startx". When I log in via a text console and issue "startx", I get the window arrangement I set in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc. This is the end result I am trying to reach. The only difference being using xdm to log in instead of text console. The xsession-errors file is empty and I have tried .xinitrc and .xsession files to no avail. The only option I see after logging in via xdm is Failsafe/Default and this loads a blank, useless screen or the screen goes blank and reloads the login page again. Using Google and man pages, I have not been able to find an answer. This is on an old Compaq Armada 7750MT laptop with 64mb ram and a Pentium 166. Thanks for any and all help/advise, -- Jim Seymour <jim@wingbarscafe.com> [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGFRweiPw6rHnsYBARAlWpAJ9yPfwDjluLq6fc6Rq9s2VChKAk5gCdHpX0 a6Y+KhYw1wufokCtEi9ytHc= =6fh2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
