It does work, I've had it working here, though i went back to using a
textual login because only root can shut down the machine from within X
whereas from a text login anyone can do Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Anyhow, I used to get that error. I can't remember what causes it, but
I fixed the problem by poking around in all the xdm startup files (I STR
the man page lists them all). I changed quie a lot of stuff so I've no
idea which file magically made it work!
Persevere, it does work! As a last resort try recompiling your
kernel... That might have some effect.
