I installed xdm, but x doesn't start up. It says "starting x display manger: xdm", but it never does. Anyone know why?

you might try having a look at /var/log/xdm.log to see why it's failing (if it is failing). also check and make sure that in your /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config file the line

DisplayManager.randomFile:

points to /dev/mem, not /dev/urandom (or God forbid, /dev/random).
