Very Computer

I currently have AccelX v4.1 running on kernel 2.0.33 using the SlackWare
v3.4 distribution. I'm using the latest stable version of KDE as my windows
manger.

I changed my /etc/inittab to default to an init level of 4 and when I reboot
my system, it attempted to start xdm. But it just stops there saying
"Starting up the X Window System V.11 R.6..." on the console (which is what
rc.4 echos before it runs xdm).

Right now I can start AccelX/KDE via "startx" after I edited .xinitrc and
added "startkde" so I know the xserver works. But I think I'm probably
missing some configuration files that I was suppose to edit/setup during the
installation of AccelX and KDE.

The error log of xdm shows nothing so...

Anyone have any ideas on how to get xdm working right? Thanks in advance!

Try running xdm manually from a terminal ( as root ) and see what happens.  If nothing
sensible, then trace it with strace to see what its trying to do.

        I don't have AccelX but I run SlackWare 3.4 and KDE. I am not sure
what is wrong but I one thing that I see wrong is the run level. Xdm run
on the runlevel 5 not 4.
        Also, with Slackware, I had to not only switch to level 5 but
also, after that, I have to start xdm in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
        Good luck.
