As I wrote in my other message, hacking on this didn't fix it. I ended up extracting the orignal /etc/X11/xdm files from the Slackware tarball (x1.tgz) and copying them over the post-upgrade contents, and everything worked a charm. XDM now works and I've learned to back up /etc/X11 before an upgrade. ;-) [more deletia] K -- You are scrupulously honest, frank, and straightforward.
