[comp.windows.x] Help: xdm no longer works.

moline@aero.ARPA (Dan Molinelli) (03/12/89)

I just recently recompiled my xdm client, and it now longer works.
When I start it up:
  X Toolkit Error: Couldn't find per display information
keeps getting written to xdm-errors, and I never get a login 
widget.  The last time I compiled it, I had patches 1-4 installed.
Now I have patches 1-9 and purdue rel2.1 speedups installed.

I've recompiled the entire distribution.  Nothing seems to help.

I'm on a monochrome SUN 2, running SunOs 3.4.  Xdm is being run
by xdmshell.

Thanks
John Bien

We rebuilt an Xt and xdm with R3 plus patches 1-9, under SunOS 3.4.
It worked just fine.  As such, it's a bit difficult to figure out
what your problem is.  If anyone else has had this or similar problem,
perhaps they could speak up, so we know it isn't isolated.

I saw lots of "X Toolkit Error: Couldn't find per display information"
msgs on my system last week when the mode of my  /etc/hosts file got
set to 000 by accident.
