Yes, startx works fine. I'd still prefer to get xdm working again. Apparently startx doesn't allow xconsole access to /dev/consile. Anyway, this is what I get: ####> cat .xsession #!/bin/tcsh source ~/.tcshrc exec ~/.xinitrc ####> cat .xinitrc xautolock -locker slock & xconsole & exec mwm ####> cat .xsession-errors Protocol not supported by server Error: Can't open display: :0 Protocol not supported by server Couldn't connect to :0 Protocol not supported by server mwm: Could not open display. ####> In fact startx works fine even without ~/.xinitrc. In that case it opens some default windows and uses twm. /var/log/xdm.log is not much help: xdm info (pid 917): Starting X server on :0 xdm info (pid 4040): sourcing /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 xdm info (pid 4040): sourcing /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/GiveConsole xdm info (pid 4057): executing session /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xsession xdm info (pid 4040): sourcing /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/TakeConsole XIO: fatal IO error 35 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" after 169 requests (162 known processed) with 0 events remaining. Many thanks for your help Anton
