Can you connect to the X server with something simple like xterm? 'xterm &' should open a terminal window that you can type in. If that works, then you know it's something in the xdm setup. If that DOESN'T work, then I suspect the X server can't figure out where the keyboard and pointer devices are. Those get identified in your XF86Config file, so you are probably right that that error message is related to your problem. -- db ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
