I can run XDM successfully the 'deprecated' way, by putting the call in /etc/ttys. But when I call it from /etc/rc.local, the login screen appears, but it won't accept any keystrokes, not even the CTRL-ALT-F1 etc combinations. I do have a 'sleep 2' call after the XDM call, as recommended recently in this list. Can anyone use XSM successfully? Others have reported that it doesn't work, and it certainly dumps core on my machine. Why is there a call to it in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession if it doesn't work? Any clues would be much appreciated!
