I just set up X-windows using sysinstall.  After exiting from sysinstall I
entered "xdm" at the prompt and a window came up with a sign in prompt.  I
signed in as root, hit return, and got another sign in prompt.  If I enter a
user's name I can sign on but then all I can do is exit, which brings me
back to another sign in prompt.

I can't get to any of my virtual terminals and all Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does
is restart X which brings up the same sign on window.

How do I get out of this?
