Re: wdm problem

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida <lra@insite.com.br>]

Hi,

wdm is not looping. It is just dying, and when it dies, the X restarts as
it normally would when wdm exits because, for example, you exited your
session.

Basically, you have to find out why is wdm dying. From the error log
you sent below, it looks like an error while loading an image or
something.

Regards, Leo
