[comp.windows.x] running xdm from /etc/rc

wheeler@shasta.CWRU.EDU (Brien Wheeler) (02/04/89)

I am trying to run xdm upon power up on the VAXstation 2000's in our lab.
Currently I have "/usr/bin/X11/xdm" as the last command in the /etc/rc
file, but that is not working.  Everything will boot up, the xdm login
screen will come up, the user will be verified, but then xdm won't run a
session.  Instead, the display is reset, and the login screen comes up
again.

If anyone can help me, please email with details.  

Additional info : Our system kernel is not patched to allow X to be run
from /etc/ttys.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
