I had ~/.xsession spelled correctly in the directory. Just typo error in 
email. Changed the contents of ~/.xsession as you posted. Still no joy.
/etc/hosts file is correct.

Running release 7.0. When i enter xdm on command line of root nothing 
happens. ps ax command shows no xdm running.

Still getting error msg
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv8, sleeping 30 second
