Hi.
So if I run xdm on startup, when I log in, my up arrow gives '[[A' instead
of command history, backspace, other keys have similar effects. If I log in
then do startx, everything works as expected. It's really not an issue for
me, I'm just curious. I tried changing the line in /etc/ttys from ..... on
xterm..... to .....on xterm-color.... with no apparent effects. I presume
there is some difference in terms of login scripts with xdm vs. startx?
