RE: XDM at Startup
Hi Bill,
I had the opposite happen to me!
I did a slink install & potato upgrade on a Dell Lattitude A300 - the xdm
script runs but doesn't run!
I then get a regular tty from which to "startx". Not a problem, but
interesting that we had the opposite requirements and initial results!
I must say Debian's great on the laptop - much faster than SuSE or Mandrake
7 I had installed previously.
Mike.
