: Hi Claus,

: your attachment was empty (and Xorg.0.log would be interesting in
: addition to the xdm log).  Also can you send such questions to the
: debian-x mailing list rather than me personally so more people can help
: you?


Found more info:

The xorg log remains empty, because X is not started.
An strace of xdm showed it was looking in /usr/X11R6/bin/X for the
X server, but there is none.
I created this directory and made a link to /usr/bin/X in it,
and now xdm works. (It does not find its proper resources,
though; the background is all black).

So, it appears that the xdm binary needs to be adapted to the new
situation.

I have attached the xdm log here (before I made the directory and link).

Regards,

Claus
