Hi, I've just installed FreeBSD 4.5 on my Thinkpad X21. Works great, cvsup'ed to the RELENG_4_5 branch, all ok. I then compiled and installed XFree86 4.2 from the ports (using the meta XFree86-4 port). X configured ok, startx works, but xdm won't start. Actually, it starts the X server, but doesn't display, then kills the X server and starts again. Running xdm in debug mode says: Before XOpenDisplay(:0) AUDIT: Sun Mar 31 19:02:37 2002: 188 X: client 1 rejected from local host Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: -1 Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key After XOpenDisplay(:0) OpenDisplay failed 0 (Undefined error: 0) on ":0" waiting for server to start 0 display manager caught SIGUSR1 This is a clean install. Shouldn't it work out of the box? Thanks, Sven
