Greeting -
I'm relatively new to the X windows world and am having a heck of a time getting X to startup using xdm.
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.
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.
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.
Regards,
Jim
