Re: xdm configuration
Thanks for the responses. Yes, run-xconsole is unnecessary (I also
comment it out), but the xdm-start-server was missing. Note: not
no-xdm-start-server (or perhaps this is this an option?)
As someone else pointed out, the line
:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X
needed to be inserted in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers in place of the
commented line indicating that debian had not configured X. I had
found that one by comparing with my other Debian system, but made
the mistake of typing /usr/X11R6/lib/X, which was hard to debug.
The gzips fonts in XFree86 3.3 are also incompatible with AcceleratedX.
I tried gunzip'ping them, then compress'ing them, but still get an
error: font `fixed' not found. Xaccel currently runs by pointing to
the XFree86 3.2 fonts. If anyone has any ideas about the nature of
this fonts error, let me know.
As for the X configuration, the setup scripts should probably be a
bit smoother, and more verbose on exiting about how to get back on
track after exiting to manually configure an X server.
