Just to remind, my problem is that although
the xdm login screen appears, with the usual
fonts, etc., the characters I input for "Login:"
are echoed in the top left corner.
After hitting ENTER, the "Password:" prompt does
not appear at all, and all consequtive input
is still echoed in the top left corner.

I can't see any problem in xdm.log:

I made my xorg.conf an exact copy of what
you included in your first reply:
 ( http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/log/xorg.conf )


I also build and run xconsole, but there is nothing
shown there either.


Any other log files I've forgotten to check?
What else can I do to narrow the problem down?

Many thanks for your help

Anton
