Hi, I'm already running potato for some time now, without trouble, but on my latest dselect adventure things went wrong, notably with xdm (this is version 3.3.6-5).
[1] Suddenly xdm wouldn't startup anymore. Reason: parse-xf86config was gone. I had to fetch it from somewhere else in order for xdm to startup. With this file present, it did startup, displaying the normal login-screen. (Well, actually, it didn't display the normal login screen, because in my /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 it says xsetroot -solid black and I got the normal gray background.) [2] Logging in is still impossible: my password is accepted but apparently I cannot connect to the X-server (here is my .xsession-errors:) Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Client is not authorized to connect to Server xrdb: Can't open display ':0' Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server ... After less than a second, the login screen is there again. This is both a cry for help as a (not so precise) bug-report. I'm happy to give whatever information you might need about (configuration files on my) computer. Richard -- Teletubbie bye-bye... Oh, my God! They killed La-La! You bastards!
