Does it also "stuff up the card" if you launch xdm from something like
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/xdm.sh:
#!/bin/sh
xdmpid='/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-pid'
xdmbin='/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm'
if [ -x "${xdmbin}" ]; then
# XDM doesn't provide a useful return code
${xdmbin}
sleep 2
if kill -0 `cat ${xdmpid}` >/dev/null 2>&1; then
echo -n ' xdm'
fi
fi
I've never seen xdm "stuff up the card", and I don't launch it from
init. I'm assuming you know that trying to switch vtys while xdm is
restarting can lose you access to all your vtys.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
