While booting with xdm all entries are impossible

While booting and starting automatically X with xdm, Runlevel 3 , all entries are impossible.

If your system gets stack in the net, then log yourself in as one of the users and execute su. A remote login as user root is not possible!

If you do not have any net connection, you must press the reset button and boot your system in the single mode. For so, type the terms linux single at the prompt LILO boot:. After booting you are asked for the root's password. Log yourself in and call directly the order init 2, in order to relog yourself in as root.


Change now as root the last line in the file /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers.

Instead of:

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -quiet

enter

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt07 -quiet.
