Hello: I've got xdm running on my FreeBSD 3.1-R system (and it was running on 2.2.8-R before that). It is started with a xdm.sh script in the /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d directory (is there any other way to start it?). Quite frequently, after I boot up the system and I get to the login window, the keyboard input isn't echoed in the login window. The keyboard input is accepted, as I found out by telnetting in from another system and seeing myself logged in, plus Ctrl-Alt-Delete works. Sometimes it needs a couple reboots before the keboard input is echoed to the screen. The keyboard works fine. It's a MS-Natural-layout keyboard, and I told xf86config that. Does anyone know what causes this? One more oddity (or misconfiguration on my part): when I log in via xdm, I don't show up in the output of the 'last' command. Is this because I should be running xdm a different way? Thanks in advance for your help. -- PETER SCHWENK | UNIX System Administrator Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 <-NEW!!!
