I'm running XFree86 3.3.6 on a AMD K6, 233, with 64M RAM, and a Voodoo3 = graphics board that has 16M RAM. The OS is FBSD 4.0-Stable, last cvsup'd = about a week ago. I'm using the KDE desktop suite. I don't have a problem using "startx" and having a $HOME/.initrc file = with "exec kdestart" in it. Everything works fine so I'm sure the X = server is properly configured. =20 I do have a problem when I try to use xdm. I have a file called xdm.sh = that looks like this: #!/bin/sh /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm in my /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d directory. In $HOME/.xsession there is only = one line exec kdestart When I reboot the machine, I get the X Windows System login screen. = When I login (as either root or my normal user), the login screen = disappears for a few seconds, then comes right back. I do a CNTL-ALT-ESC-F1 to get out of the X window and back to a console = prompt. When I look at the $HOME/.xsession-errors file, it says: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to server Error: Can't open display: :0 The xdm-errors file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm has the usual output but = at the bottom there are several lines that look like this: AUDIT: Tue Jun 6 21:03:01 2000: 293 X: client 2 rejected from local = host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server /usr/X11R6/bin/xrdb: Can't open display ':0' AUDIT: Tue Jun 6 21:03:01 2000: 293 X: client 3 rejected from local = host Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server I get the same results when I try to run xdm from a command line.=20 I've been through the FAQs at both the freebsd and xfree86 web sites. = From what I can tell, I'm doing everything the way the = books/instructions/handbooks/etc. say to do this. I'd appreciate any = help someone may have to offer.
