Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-6

I try running /usr/bin/X11/X -ac -query 10.0.0.3 -from 10.0.0.4
The xdm on 10.0.0.3 logs this:

Sat May 10 19:34:33 2003 xdm info (pid 839): starting X server on mini:0
X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  14 (X_GetGeometry)
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  57
  Current serial number in output stream:  57

(10.0.0.4 has hostname "mini".  Using hostnames or ip addresses
makes no difference.)
The -ac parameter is to rule out access problems, the
-from is to rule out addressing problems.

simply running "X -ac" on the pc-xterminal and
"xterm -display 10.0.0.4:0" on the server works fine,
but I want a xdm login prompt instead of an xterm.

The above error repeats over and over as xdm gives up,
the X server probably thinks the session is over and
queries again, GetGeometry fails again and so on.
I never get a login window, just a xserver that
restarts over and over.  I can avoid the loop
by using "-once", but that doesn't solve
anything


The error could possibly be in xdm, but it seems to me
that it is the xserver that is causing the problem.
Unless xdm does something strange when requesting
geometry.

I am closing this bug since the submitter did not reply to the ping I
send a couple weeks ago. If anybody ever reproduces this problem, feel
free to reopen.
