ACK! xdm & kdm hate me!
Ok, this problem is driving me crazy. The short story is that the drive that my
/usr partition lived on died. This left me without many important binaries, and
a package database which did not accurately reflect the state of the filesystem.
So, after many days of manually downloading and re-installing all the packages I
had installed prior to the crash, I thought I was ok. However, xdm/kdm just
refuse to work properly. When an X server makes a broadcast XDMCP query, [x|k]dm
responds and I get a login window, I log in, and the X server resets. And I
don't see much in the way of [x|k]dm logs to track down what's going wrong.
Local sessions (eg startx) on the system work fine. Any hints?
