startx vs. xdm
In the process of trying to make xmonad work I've found
that startx fails whereas xdm succeeds. The logs are here.
startx fails: http://carnot.yi.org/Xorg.0.log.old
xdm succeeds: http://carnot.yi.org/Xorg.0.log
My summary of the differences follows.
Any insights to direct further studies?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
