Dear Sirs,
I am writing to you because I have some problem with recently installed Unix
FreeBSD 5.1.
I must say you that I am new user of FreeBSD, and therefore I need some advice.
And here is my problem: when I installed FreeBSD and added KDE environment as
the default X Window environment for my system, everything was perfect, except
the fact that I cannot enable xdm to log in X Window environment properly
(HERE IS THE CORE OF THE PROBLEM: when I enabled xdm in etc/ttys file, then
after rebooting xdm started, but when I entered login and password, xdm, again,
started, that is, this program was like cycled)
instead of logging in console. I strictly followed the instructions given in
Chapter 5 of the FreeBSD Handbook, but I couldn't do anything about it. May be
the problem is that the instructions are not enough detailed for me.
That is why I ask you to help me. Thank you in advance.
It sounds like you don't have a proper .xsession file.
Start by removing whatever you already have for a .xsession file, and
you'll get the system default one. If that doesn't work, look in
~/.xsession-errors. If it does work, then you need to debug your
.xsession file (remember that you *don't* want it to exit while you
are running an xdm session.
For reference, my .xsession file is at
