X startup problems
I picked up Debian Linux on the Boot magazine CD-ROM, and have been
trying for a couple of days to get it working the way I want it too, with
little success.
What's the deal with xdm? My understanding was that that was the program
used to login under X, without having to login from a console and then
issue a startx command. During installation I told the program I wanted
to start X with xdm; I see a message when I boot about xdm being started,
and then I log in to a console. Then if I try to use startx like I'm
used to, I get a bunch of error messages about some missing socket thing
(I'm not at home right now so I can't quote the exact error), then I get
an error message about not finding xinit. Anybody know what I did wrong,
or what I need to do?
