Hi there! I'm new to FreeBSD and just installed FreeBSD 3.1-stable to an old Compaq Prolinea 5100e PC ( with 32M RAM and 2.5G HDD) via FTP. The installation was quite straightforward and I also configured XFree86 with XF86Setup(run from /stand/sysinstall), no error messages found during the setup. I tried to run XDM (tried both from /etc/rc/local or /etc/ttys) and actually got the login screen (The same as I got from Linux). The problem is I was kicked out immediately after I login. It just displayed the cool login screen. I then telnet from another machine and found that the login session was not there and it even didn't shown when I run last command. In /var/log/messages, I found: Apr 23 11:57:15 freebsd /kernel: pid 231 (xsm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Apr 23 12:03:23 freebsd /kernel: pid 227 (xsm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) Apr 23 13:38:57 freebsd /kernel: pid 287 (xsm), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped) In /root, I got: $ ls -l xsm* -rw------- 1 root wheel 536576 Apr 23 13:38 xsm.core I tried running XF86Setup several times with different parameters but couldn't solve the problem. I also compared FreeBSD with my Linux machines but couldn't find any clue. Any hints and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
