Re: xdm (slink)
This is a bug in xdm (reported). Try removing the link in /etc/rc?.d that
starts xdm. Better solution is removing xdm and installing it again when
it's fixed. I'm not at my box now, so I can't give the exact answer, but
I want to do the same because it seems to lock up my keyboard (another
bug, but this may be limited to Branden's beta build).
HTH,
Brandon
