Fluxbox and XDM problems on Etch
Hi,
I recently upgraded from Sarge to Etch with kernel 2.6.18. Before upgrading, I used to have xdm as loging manager and fluxbox as the window manager. XDM login window use to take me to the fluxbox manager. But after the upgrade, this no longer happens. I do get the XDM login screen but as soon as I enter my username and password it again comes back to the login screen after going blank for 1 or 2 seconds. I guess somewhere the information to start fluxbox got distorted during the upgrade. In short, startx and xdm command do work, so there is not problem starting the X server. I am logging as root and I also have .xsession file in my home directory (i.e. /root). Here are the contents of my .xsession file: Code:

This sort of happened to me this morning. It was with gdm and gnome though. I would log in, it would act like it was going, and then restart back at the gdm prompt. It ended up that I had to reinstall my nvidia driver because it wasn't working right for some reason.
I don't think that has anything to do with your problem though. Check the xdm log... |
Configure your Locales. Sarge->Etch upgrading breaks the Locales every single time. Sucks, but its simple to fix.

And how to configure the locales? |
