xdm not getting/giving authority for X to allow login
Hey there folks. I've recently installed my nice debian system on
my notebook and all is well... except that I can't use xdm. I can
start it, get the login window and can type in my username and
password. I hit return and login window vanishes, the display
changes slighty and then instantly changes back and provides me
with the login prompt.
While this happens my .Xauthoirty gets zero-sized, .xsession-errors
gets the following:

xdm is started from console. startx works just fine from console. Removing
my .xsession did nothing to help. The server I am using is one modified by
timr@probo.com so that my S3 Savage Mobile IX chip in my laptop works. :)
This means that the actual XF86_SVGA server is not debian's but rather
tim's (latest tarball rather then the slightly older deb of his). I've
emailed him seperately but would appreciate any help you folks can offer.
Any and all help will obviously be appreciated. If you need more info, tell
me how to get it and I'll do my best to provide.
Thanks.
