I'm wondering if a wrong configuration on video card and/or monitor, when used with xdm (not startx), could lock up the machine. Here is what happened: couple of month ago when I installed X for the first time, I configured xdm to start at the boot. My machine worked fine with startx before. However, as soon as I rebooted, and I got prompted for boot...not even with xdm...my screen started to blink from blank to non-blank, and keyboard was locked up during blank screen. Non-blank meaning it showed me boot-up messages.
Nothing I wasnt able to fix with cfdisk and reformatting of primary partition...was my 3rd day of using Deb. so.. But I want to give xdm another chance, and was wondering if something like that could have happened because of wrong configuration of X?
