Hello all! i just installed freeBSD for the first time on a Dell OptiPlex GXi (Pentium) box. things went smoothly but now when i try to run xmh it exits (halfway through starting - i don't get any windows) with a "Error: cannot perform realloc" any suggestions as to where i could look for problems? also xdm is behaving very poorly and when invoked as a deamon from the command line merely "cycles" when you try and log in. so if user applebaum logs in successfully, xdm starts doing something (what i don't know) it seems like the server actually exits (the screen goes black, clicking hardware noises in the monitor) and whamo there is the login screen again. uh ideas on that one? should i merely reinstall x-windows system? ian
