Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.1.8-1.1
Severity: normal

When booting the system the last message is «Starting X Display Manager:
xdm» but xdm does not startup and I am left on tty1.

loging in and starting xdm via «sudo xdm» works as it should.

I have already purged xdm without fixing the problem. When kdm is set as
default it starts without problems.

Ok, thanks, I am closing this bug then.

Right, if anybody ever reproduces, please reopen.
