i just installed 3.2 and i'm having problems with my graphical logon into X.
it accepts my password, but takes me right back to the logon screen.
i read at linuxpower.com that this means the system is rejecting my password...ie invalid logon and i could bypass it using F1 to get a barebones X going.
they didn't offer a solution....does anyone know what the problem is here?
i didn't have this problem with 3.1
thanks,

daniel fisher

btw i start xdm using /etc/ttys not with rc.local
