Sorry, my last report was bogus. I was looking at the old Woody setup ;-(

On the installation in question the Xservers file has everything commented
out. The default-display-manager file contains the line:

/usr/bin/X11/wdm

I put the correct line into the Xservers file and wdm comes up as
expected! Thanks! (what process should have put this in?)

Now I seem to have some font problems. Netscape seems to be OK, but the
GIMP comes up with [] [] [] [] [] in place of the hint text. The title
bars are OK but any "filled in" text is just [] repeated. Any hints?

Thanks for the pointers,

Dwarf
