Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Before I configure my system to startup using XDM, I thought I would try running the command from the command line as root: xdm -nodaemon & (as specified in "The Complete FreeBSD" book) but when I run it, my system continously loops. X starts, I enter my u/p, hit enter, then my system returns to the X login screen again...I can't cancel out or anything... Do I have a problem or did I issue the wrong command for testing purposes?
