Hawkins" Date: Mon, 29 Jul 2002 12:59:48 -0400 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've dealt with this before, but can't remember the solution. startx works for root, but xdm doesn't work--it kills the server every few seconds before the login widget appears (the mouse works). I've copied the config file to /etc/X11, but that didn't do it. I remmber having this problem before, just not the solution :( hawk, ancxious to put his fast new machine to work -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
