Hi all I'm trying to get my X11 to be the 'default' desktop environment. But when I start the 'xdm -nodaemon', I can only do 'emergency logins' as root, not as any ordinary user. The 'emergency login' is when I enter username, password with <cntrl+enter> instead of just <enter> in the login window. Last time i tried this, i had similar problems but now I just don't remember what was the problem. I hava a very good memory but it's unfortunately very short... The last time I did this was with freebsd 1.1-something with X11R5... I checked the file protection, but this should not be a problem when logged in as root. When I try to log in as root, it just bounces and restart the login window. I must press cntrl+enter go go into an emergency mode without any x11 starting scripts, no window manager etc, just 'raw' x11 with one xterm window, like a 'xinit' startup. Any ideas anyone?
