xdm is getting stuck
I boot into a command line which asks me login. If I then startx xfce will run fine.
But if I run xdm (whether I boot into run level 5 or type in xdm as root on the command line) I get the login pass part, but then I get another box saying....
Session Menu
chooseSessionListWidget
[Load Session] [Delete Session] [Break Lock] [Default/Fail Safe] [Cancel]
I can only press default/safe or cancel. If I press default/safe I just get the black/white screen with the X cursor.
Im guessing its sunnit to do with my xinitrc file in the home directory but what needs to be added? I rather crudly tried putting exec startxfce4 at the top of the other bits but it didnt work.
I haven't installed xfce4-session but am guessing I dont need to. Or am I wrong about this?
many thanks
