Hi, Paul. Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem. I think that you meant to say that ':0 lamar /usr/X11R6/bin/X' should go into /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. At least this is the format of the entries in that file. When I put it into /etc/X11/Xserver, it seems to have no effect, and even when I add it to xdm/Xservers and try starting 'xdm -nodaemon' to test xdm, I still get a blank screen on tty7. (btw, xdm isn't running normally. I changed /etc/X11/config to skip starting xdm since X will run without errors but give me no screen.)
