I'm certain this *must* be a FAQ somewhere! Your login has failed for some reason, probably something started by xdm or your X session file. Login on one of the text consoles and look at the file .xdm-errors in your root directory, this is a log of the attempted xdm session. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
