Hello Ed.

xdm works fine for me as long as it doens't get upstarted from
/etc/ttys. This morning, even with a newly "make world", I had the same
problems as before when starting xdm from /etc/ttys.

My lab's box seems to be instable, when having xdm started - it crashes
on heavy i/o. It might be possible that blaming xdm isn't correct, but
the crashes came very quickly when xdm was started (remotely via console
command). But since there is a "integer divide fault" issue with the mos
recent kernels from which my oldish Intel E8500 box at home suffers with
crashaes while booting the most recent kernels while the box in the lab,
a brand new i7 3930K, does not but crashes under heavy i/i, this could
also be a coincidence.

Do you startup xdm via issuinng a command on the console or did you fire
it up via /etc/ttys?


Regards,
Oliver
