I have a very strange problem. I just installed linux a Fujitsu
Stylistic 2300 pen tablet. Everything seemed to just work. I got the pen
working and everything. GDM started up and everything seemed hunky dory
until I tried to login. First I tried loggin into a GNOME session. It'd
get about half way through gnome initialization sequence and X
restarted. So I tried KDE. Same thing. So I tried failsafe. That worked
got an xterm and ran twm. That worked. So I killed twm, and tried
gnome-session. Same thing, X restarts. Upon investigation several things
are happening that I can see. One, gnome and kde don't have permissions
to connect to the DISPLAY. Another thing, an .Xauthority file isn't
being created, so I added my own with proper things like
localhost.localdomain:0
localhost.localdomain/unix:0
<hostname>:0
<hostname/unix:0
And that didn't help. Here is a sample from the .xsession_errors files
(excuse mistypes as I'm having to retype the errors by hand):

X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
:0.0.
Gdk-ERROR **: X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server
shutdown).
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
:0.0
Gdk-ERROR **: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server
:0.0

And here's what's reported in /var/log/messages:

Oct 23 18:01:41 localhost gdm(pam_unix)[5470]: session closed for user
root
Oct 23 18:01:41 localhost gdm[5470]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X
error - Restarting :0

I'm enabling the options that the neomagic man page says need to be
enabled to prevent lockups with this chipset (can't remember them off
the top of my head).

Any ideas on what's going on here? Please let me know if any more
information is needed.
