I removed the above mentioned file, no differance. XDM starts fine, GDM
as I am told is running, but .
When I look at the log directory I have 5 files. 3 of which are clean,
2 of which show:

As you can see the date in the file shows July 1, both files have the
same date. I have restarted my computer many time since then. The
newest log is from yesterday and it seems clean:

at one point yesterday gdm did run and that is when it told me I had no
screens or XDMCP was turned off.
