This machine used to run 3.4 STABLE just fine. I have set up the files in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm, so that several machine preformance programs run on the login screen. However these don't seem to be working on the new machien. Also when I start xdm, and atenmpt to login, it fails, even as root. An atempt is made to satrt the window manager, but it fails, and of coures xdm pops back up. I am getting errors in the xdm error file about not having permission to acces display 0:0. I don;t remeber having this poblme befor. If I do startx, the X comes up. What am I doing wrong? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy! Pay no attention to that cliff ahead...
