I am having problems installing and/or running XDM.
I tried to install XFree86 4.2 on a kkFreeBSD machine - finally figured out 
that ATI Rage IIC card is not supported. Reinstalled v. 3.3.6 & KDE3 & all 
works fine.
Now, I installed XFree86 4.2 on a dual processor FreeBSD machine 2 x PIII 
450's with the supported (if I am not mistaken) card ATI kRage 128 GL AGP 
and KDE3.
kAs I understand it, I must either install the wrapper to use startx or use 
XDM.
\I have not tried the wrapper; but I have no luck starting xdm. I have read 
and reread the configuration instruction on Xfree86 4.2 and on xdm. As I am 
very new to Unix, I cannot figure out how to set up xdm and or Xfree86 4.2.
When I configure ttys, I get error message that getty (or something like 
that) is being acessed too fast, retrying in 30 seconds - and it just 
retries until reset kttys and redo kill -HUP 1.
Another error message: could not find screen.... :((
I have tried searching Google with no results.
I really feel stupid as nobody seems to have such elementary problems. :(((((
Can you steer me in the right direction?
