I refer to an earlier post of a few minutes ago, where I summarised the
xsession-errors issue after RTFM and examining my second system which had some
errors logged from installation time, 27/12/01.
SuSE does its general X logging to /var/log/xdm.errors. (It is configurable
through a configuration file, /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config) rather than a script. On
this system(the one which crashes) there is no such file, indicating that no
errors have been logged so far. On my secondary system refered to above, there
is such a log file from 27/12/01.
Again, it doesn't help very much if the crashes occur before the cause can be
logged.

To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command
echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
