Re: X login keeps repeating
Hello
I had the same problem, though the "looping" eventually lead to total
freezing of X.
It appeared when I had installed mozilla M17-3 from woody. (My system is
still mostly potato.) First time I solved it installing gdm again. Then
I tried mozilla again, crash, and I had to install helixgnome which
works fine now.
I have no idea why this happens.
