I checked the mail archives and reread Chris's initial reply to my e-mail. I did a 'make reinstall' for XFree86 and excluded PAM support (I think it was the last question asked). This solved the problem and X now reads my .xsession file just fine. Thanks everyone! Kevin Weiss kweiss@jump.net >On Thu, May 11, 2000 at 06:55:16PM +0000, Kevin wrote: >> Let me rephrase this.
