I see the xdm-login requester, but after successfully login, I see for a second the desktop (windowmaker), but X11 immediately dies and resets to the xdm requester again. Login from another box and examining the ~/.xsession-errors shows only this entry: --- foo.bar.org being added to access control list XIO: fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" after 29 requests (29 known processed) with 0 events remaining. wmaker warning: got signal 15 - exiting... --- Recompiling xdm and xorg-server ( I did this desperately in the first place) didn't help very much. I do not dare to update all the other boxes in my lab, since I suspect a similar problem since they have all the same or similar hardware (AMD graphics hardware, running X11, running FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT/amd64). What to do? What changed? Regards, Oliver
