I have two hardware-identical laptops exhibiting different behavior WRT xdm. xdm doesn't try to start automatically on one of the laptops but does on the other. On the one that does not start xdm, I get this on startup:
# rc-update -s | grep xdm xdm | default # /etc/init.d/xdm status * status: stopped # /etc/init.d/xdm start and xdm/lightdm starts just fine. What could be the problem? It works perfectly on the other laptop. - Grant
