hi folks, just upgraded to XF4.2.0 on my testing system from branden's
people.debian.org archive (the netherlands mirror actually).
now i can get to start with startx and it works perfectly (and sooo
fast thanks to the 4.2 ATI radeon driver). however, i can't get xdm to
work. it displays the login window, when i enter the information, the
screen goes black for about 5 seconds, and then returns to the login
window again.
here's the relevant info i scraped together:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "Device"
Identifier "radeon"
Driver "radeon"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "c610lcd"
HorizSync 31.5-90
VertRefresh 59-75
Modeline "1400x1050" 184 1400 1464 1656 1960 1050 1051 1054 1100
+HSync +VSync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen"
Device "radeon"
Monitor "c610lcd"
DefaultDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1400x1050"
EndSubSection
EndSection
/var/log/xdm-errors:
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] DRIScreenInit failed. Disabling DRI.
Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
xdm error (pid 1696): can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0" (err 2)
xdm error (pid 1697): can't execute "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole" (err 2)
there is no information written to ~/.xsession-errors.
startx executes my ~/.xsession file just fine.
any tips appreciated. props to Branden for these packages!
