I'm having problem using the XFree86 2.1 with the April 5 sources. I've tried
both the binaries from laas on sun-lamp, but both exhibit the same problem. My
problem is that when using xdm, the first login session works fine, but if I
logout, xdm will hang forever trying to get hold of the screen. Here's what
running 'xdm -nodaemon -debug 9 &' looks like.
Before XOpenDisplay(:0)
display manager caught SIGUSR1
select returns -1. Rescan: 0 ChildReady: 0
WaitForSomething
hung in open, aborting
giving up on server
select returns -1. Rescan: 0 ChildReady: 1
signals blocked, mask was 0x0
Manager wait returns pid: 446 sig 0 core 0 code 4
Display exited with OPENFAILED_DISPLAY, try 0 of 4
WaitForSomething
And then it hangs forever. I have tried playin around with several options,
but to no avail. If anyone can give me a clue to what's happening or what I
should look for, it would be most appreciated. I've listed some other
information below that might help.
Thanks,
Brian Moore
