/var/log/XFree86.0.log is clean with no errors. I did find an Xservers~ file and looked at that. It had :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07. I changed the Xservers to the same line, now I get a login in XDM where the keyboard input is accepted, but when I logout, I get the login screen again and the only way to shutdown is ctl+alt+f2 and ctl+alt+del.
For Oisin's question, here is the xdm file from /etc/pam.d #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_unix.so nullok #set_secrpc account required pam_unix.so password required pam_unix.so #strict=false session required pam_unix.so debug # trace or none session required pam_devperm.so -----Original Message----- From: Ted Spradley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 11:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Newbie]XDM gui login not working Art Fore wrote: > > Fonts appear OK when I startx. > > xfontsel shows -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-98-iso8859-1 > but no selection for "103". It does also have selection for "*" instead of > "98". The ls command results are below Well, this is a bit bizarre. I have the 75dpi fonts installed, but I took them out of my XFree86Config, so I can't access them with xfontsel. /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources calls for them: "xlogin*font: -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-p-103-iso8859-1" just like yours, and xdm works fine for me without them. So I guess it uses a "close-enough" match, so your lack of a perfect match should not be a problem. Your log file says "Warning: Cannot convert..." so maybe that's not a showstopper. Your log also says Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log". I take it that the file you posted is /var/log/xdm-errors? What does XFree86.0.log say? -- Remember, more computing power was thrown away last week than existed in the world in 1982. -- http://www.tom.womack.net/computing/prices.html _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
